GENEVA — The World Health Organization (WHO) called on Friday (July 1) for 'urgent' action to prevent the spread of monkeypox in Europe, noting that cases had tripled there over the past two weeks.

"Today, I am intensifying my call for governments and civil society to scale up efforts... to prevent monkeypox from establishing itself across a growing geographical area," WHO regional director for Europe, Dr Hans Kluge said.

Since early May, a surge in monkeypox cases has been detected outside West and Central African countries where the viral disease is endemic. The WHO does not think the outbreak currently constitutes a public health emergency of international concern but will review its position shortly, he said.
