Imagine a world where a disease once thought to be contained suddenly resurfaces, spreading across borders and sparking global concern. That’s the reality we’re facing with the multi-country outbreak of mpox, and it’s more complex than you might think. This is the 59th external situation report, released on 30 October 2025, and it’s packed with critical updates you won’t want to miss. But here’s where it gets even more intriguing: while mpox has historically been associated with specific regions, this outbreak is challenging our assumptions about its reach and impact.
This report dives deep into the global epidemiological landscape of mpox, offering a comprehensive snapshot as of 30 September 2025. It doesn’t stop there—it also includes up-to-date data from Africa as of 19 October and operational response updates through 24 October 2025. And this is the part most people miss: the report highlights not just the numbers, but the coordinated efforts of the WHO Emergency Response (WRE) team to tackle this crisis head-on.
With 12 pages of detailed analysis, this document is a must-read for anyone tracking the outbreak. But it’s not just about statistics—it’s about understanding the human impact and the global collaboration required to control it. Here’s the controversial question: Are we doing enough to prevent future outbreaks, or are we merely reacting to them? Let’s discuss—share your thoughts in the comments below.
