 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.


"This is the first time mpox cases have been reported in Guinea-Bissau, making even a small outbreak a major public health event," Sandra Martins, UNICEF deputy representative in Guinea-Bissau, said in a statement.


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.


But, out of 46 suspected cases, 23 are children aged under 15, UNICEF said, adding the reopening of schools next month could contribute to spread of the disease.


Mpox, which is caused by a virus from the same family as smallpox, can be transmitted to humans by animals but can also be passed between people through close physical contact.
