Mpox outbreak response: Regulatory and public health perspectives from India and the world
Background
Mpox, formerly known as Monkeypox, has re-emerged as a significant global health concern, marked by its unexpected geographic spread and evolving clinical profile. Initially endemic to Central and West Africa, recent outbreaks have underscored its potential for sustained human-to-human transmission, posing challenges to public health systems worldwide.
Objective
This paper aims to examine the global epidemiology and impact of Mpox, while also highlighting the responses from regulatory bodies and public health organizations worldwide. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate India's strategic approaches to addressing this issue, identify existing research gaps, and propose future directions to enhance global health preparedness.
Methods
A comprehensive review of peer-reviewed literature, WHO reports, and national policy documents was conducted to synthesize current knowledge on Mpox transmission, global and regional responses, and regulatory compliance along with shifting geopolitical landscape and India’s potential for expanded global health leadership.
Results
The global response to Mpox has highlighted disparities in surveillance capacity, regulatory readiness, and access to diagnostics and vaccines. While international mechanisms such as the International Health Regulations (IHR 2005) facilitated coordinated responses, implementation varied across regions. India’s response has demonstrated adaptability through surveillance enhancements, diagnostic scale-up, and alignment with WHO guidelines, although challenges remain in areas such as vaccine availability and risk communication.
Conclusion
Mpox inspires a call for stronger global health governance and resilient national systems. By addressing research gaps in transmission, vaccine development, and regulations, while embracing a One Health approach and promoting regulatory harmonization and equitable resource distribution, we can pave the way for a future that prevents outbreaks and ensures the health security of our global community.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Infection and Public Health, first official journal of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences and the Saudi Association for Public Health, aims to be the foremost scientific, peer-reviewed journal encompassing infection prevention and control, microbiology, infectious diseases, public health and the application of healthcare epidemiology to the evaluation of health outcomes. The point of view of the journal is that infection and public health are closely intertwined and that advances in one area will have positive consequences on the other.
The journal will be useful to all health professionals who are partners in the management of patients with communicable diseases, keeping them up to date. The journal is proud to have an international and diverse editorial board that will assist and facilitate the publication of articles that reflect a global view on infection control and public health, as well as emphasizing our focus on supporting the needs of public health practitioners.
It is our aim to improve healthcare by reducing risk of infection and related adverse outcomes by critical review, selection, and dissemination of new and relevant information in the field of infection control, public health and infectious diseases in all healthcare settings and the community.
