Mpox Outbreak in Guinea-Bissau Affects Children Disproportionately

Guinea-Bissau has reported its first mpox outbreak, with UNICEF confirming that children account for half of all suspected cases in the country.

Health officials are working to contain the spread, warning that the high infection rate among minors poses a significant risk to the nation's healthcare infrastructure.

International aid organizations are mobilizing resources to provide vaccines and medical supplies to the affected regions to prevent further transmission.
