The mpox outbreak has surged into a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), with the real crisis potentially worse than the official reports suggest. Undetected cases are spreading swiftly beyond Africa, as this threat remains largely unchecked. The international community is lagging in the fight against mpox. BlueDot founder and CEO and EPIC member, Kamran Khan, likens the current approach to ignoring a raging fire next door while only dealing with the sparks that land on your roof.
Join Khan and BlueDot’s senior epidemiologist, Anindita Marwah, for an eye-opening discussion on the hidden scale of this outbreak and its far-reaching global implications. They will discuss BlueDot’s insights on the situation in Africa and beyond, the significant challenges in containment, and how air travel data can reveal the potential scale of the outbreak, identifying critical areas where surveillance must be strengthened. Additionally, they will address the overarching global challenges in surveillance and control efforts.
