Mpox Day 100: Progress and Path Forward

100 Days Mission Mpox Clock: Day 100

Today marks Day 100 since WHO declared mpox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) on 14th August 2024. This update provides a comprehensive review of progress achieved in diagnostic, therapeutic, and vaccine (DTV) availability over the past 100 days and outlines priority actions for accelerating response in the next 100 days.

This analysis supports ongoing work by 100 Days Mission partners and has been developed in consultation with implementing organizations. These updates are intended to support the work of partners and key initiatives. While our regular 15-day reporting cycle concludes with this review, we will continue to provide major updates when significant developments occur in the mpox response.

Accompanying this update is an op-ed in The Guardian by IPPS Chair Dr Mona Nemer. This provides further perspective on where we are 100 days after the mpox PHEIC declaration, what we could have done differently, and how leaders can commit to ensuring tests, treatments and vaccines reach those who most need them.

Previous updates documenting the journey to day 100:

Note that throughout this period, we refined our tracking metrics to better capture progress and incorporate feedback. Where relevant, we will retrospectively standardise data to current metrics. However, the overall picture of DTV status remains unchanged.
