UNICEF Fights Mpox in Democratic Republic of the Congo

Показать описание
UNICEF is supporting local health care systems to provide urgent care for children with mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the epicenter of the current outbreak.
Previously known as monkeypox, mpox affects children disproportionately; more than half of all reported cases are among children younger than 15. Children, especially those with malnutrition or other underlying health conditions, are also more at risk of dying from the viral disease.
UNICEF provides handwashing kits and disinfectant to prevent the spread of mpox, and trains community relays, who go door-to-door to share important health information about the disease and answer any questions.
UNICEF is providing medicines to treat mpox in DRC, but the need far exceeds the supply. Without immediate action and additional funding, the consequences for children will be severe.
