100 Days Mission Mpox Clock: Day 30 (minor update)
The 100 Days Mission (100DM) clock for mpox started on 14th August 2024, following the declaration of mpox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) by WHO. Today we are publishing the Day 30 update on mpox DTV availability. Leading up to Day 100 on 21st November, IPPS will provide updates every 15 days (alternating between major and minor) on the status and progress of mpox DTV availability. The major updates provide detailed deep dives into each tool and highlight specific priority actions to ensure products are available to those who need them. Minor updates like today’s simply track factual changes to the indicators in our tracker.
These updates are intended to support the work of partners and key initiatives and are developed in consultation with implementing partners of the 100DM. We are open to feedback on the accuracy of our data, please get in touch (info@ippsecretariat.org) if you have information to share.
