Emergency funds mobilized to tackle the Mpox outbreak

An increasing number of cases of Mpox have been reported over the past few weeks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), representing a public health risk at national level and beyond the DRC’s borders.
Already categorized as a public health emergency by the DRC’s Ministry of Health, this epidemic requires rapid and effective international mobilization to support the DRC’s efforts, reduce the risk of transmission, and also facilitate better preparedness in countries outside the DRC. The call for proposals therefore aims to support research activities in the DRC and in neighboring or affected countries, in order to manage and/or prevent the spread of the current epidemic.
A few weeks ago, ANRS MIE opened a level 1 emergence cell on the Mpox epidemic in the DRC. As part of its commitment to a coordinated response to epidemics, ANRS MIE is pleased to announce a contribution of 500,000 euros to the call for proposals launched by the Global Heath EDCTP 3.
