Hi,

Today we bring you a quick update on how Africa CDC and WHO are trying to align their response to deal with the mpox emergency.

We present snapshots from a special briefing this week that took place on the sidelines of the Seventy-fourth session of the WHO Regional Committee for Africa.

We also share a few details from the Bavarian Nordic investor call on August 22.

These developments collectively demonstrate not only what is at stake in the context of the mpox crisis, but also what it could mean for the upcoming negotiations towards a new Pandemic Agreement.

Thank you for reading.
