Covid and mpox are here to stay, but the WHO’s emergencies may be nearing an end
Over the next week or so, the World Health Organization may declare a formal end to two long-running global health emergencies, Covid-19 and the mpox outbreak, after independent expert panels meet to assess whether these health events still merit being called Public Health Emergencies of International Concern.
What the panels will recommend, and what WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus will ultimately decide, remains to be seen.
