 Guinea-Bissau faces first mpox outbreak: UNICEF Guinea-Bissau is facing its first outbreak of mpox, UN children's agency UNICEF said, voicing concern that half of suspected cases were affecting children.

Guinea-Bissau confirms seven cases "We face the risk that cases are going undetected, particularly among children who are the most vulnerable to severe complications," she said. As of August 17, Guinea-Bissau had reported seven confirmed mpox cases, all among adults. No deaths have been reported.
