AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMpox Alert: Guinea-Bissau confirmed its first mpox case: a 27-year-old woman sought care on June 24, samples from her skin lesions tested positive in-country and were later confirmed at Institut Pasteur in Dakar. Health authorities have activated national response mechanisms under WHO guidance, launched contact tracing, reinforced surveillance (including border points), and urged basic prevention like frequent handwashing and avoiding close contact with people with fever or rashes. Rural Health Context: A new global mapping shows only 60 countries still have more than half their population living in rural areas, with most in Sub-Saharan Africa—an important reminder that access to clinics and preventive care often remains harder outside cities.
