The rapid spread of the Monkeypox virus has led the World Health Organization (WHO) to declare it a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. This declaration emphasizes the urgent need for a coordinated global response. Preparedness is essential across all regions, including Africa, the Asia-Pacific, the Americas, Europe, and beyond. Key measures include enhanced surveillance, healthcare capacity building, and public awareness campaigns.
The Importance of Medical Waste Management During Vaccination Campaigns
As the situation evolves, the likelihood of a large-scale vaccination campaign to combat the virus is increasing. In such a scenario, the management of medical waste, particularly syringes and other vaccination materials, becomes critically important. Proper on-site treatment of medical waste is vital for preventing cross-contamination and further transmission within healthcare settings.
