🧐 Isn’t it just another distant outbreak?
If you're thinking, "It’s all the way in Africa — not my concern,"
think again. We live in an interconnected world. A virus anywhere can become a virus everywhere — and fast.
🌍 What’s happening in Africa?
-
Over 21,000 confirmed cases in 13 African countries (2025 so far)
-
Hard-hit countries include Sierra Leone, Malawi, and DR Congo
-
Limited vaccine access, fragile health systems
-
Rising concerns over Clade I variants with higher fatality
⚠️ Why should you care?
-
Global travel can transport viruses across continents in hours
-
Climate change is expanding mosquito-borne disease zones
-
South Korea already had mpox cases in 2022
-
No one is truly isolated in the age of globalization
🌐 Global health is shared health
When one region suffers from weak vaccination or medical access, the ripple effect is global.
Helping Africa isn’t charity — it’s self-preservation and collective responsibility.
💡 Final thought
“Mpox may not be at your doorstep yet —
but the door is open.”
Let’s close it together.
