Uruguay should not underestimate mpox threat, official says
Uruguay's Health Undersecretary José Luis Satdjian insisted this weekend that the country must remain alert for a possible monkeypox outbreak: "We cannot lower our guard," the official stressed while pointing out that local authorities have stayed in contact with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) after the declaration of public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC).
