The World Health Network (WHN) announcement comes ahead of WHO meeting to be held on 23 June to decide on their monkeypox outbreak designation, APA reports citing Livemint.

Even with death rates much lower than smallpox, unless actions are taken to stop the ongoing spread—actions that can be practically implemented—millions of people will die and many more will become blind and disabled, it said.

With 3,417 confirmed Monkeypox cases reported across 58 countries, World Health Network (WHN) has announced that they are declaring the current monkeypox outbreak a pandemic.

The outbreak is rapidly expanding across multiple continents and will not stop without concerted global action, it said in a statement.
