Episode Description

We are Sharing The Mic again with Frontline AIDS to highlight the latest mpox outbreaks that have started in the Democratic Republic of Congo, spread to Burundi and beyond. From lack of access to accurate, updated information, diagnostics - and of course - vaccines, communities - particularly partners of Frontline AIDS - are calling out for urgent, concerted action from governments, and international agencies, including the WHO.


Joining Ben are:

Ntombizodwa Mthembu, Programs Adviser, Frontline AIDS

Aggrey Aluso, Pandemic Action Network, Director, Africa Region, Kenya

Dr. Egide Haragirimana, Co-Founder & Co-Chair Village Health Action, Burundi.
