WH: WHO announcement a ‘call to action’ for global community
The White House agreed with the World Health Organization's decision to declare the spread of Monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern saying it is a "call to action." In a statement Saturday, the Director of the White House Pandemic Preparedness Office Raj Panjabi claimed that an international response was essential to stop the spread. The World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus made the decision to declare the PHEIC after two separate deliberations with an emergency committee.
