Njengoko iinzame ziyaqhubeka ukuquka ukuqhambuka kwangoku kwe-monkeypox kumazwe aseNtshona angenasiphelo, uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi ucela inkxaso kumazwe aseAfrika, apho isifo sihlala sikhona, ukuqinisa uhlolo kunye nokuphendula kwisifo sentsholongwane.

"Kufuneka sikuphephe ukuba neempendulo ezimbini ezahlukeneyo kwimonkeypox-enye yamazwe aseNtshona afumana usulelo olubalulekileyo kwaye enye ye-Afrika," utshilo uMatshidiso Moeti, umlawuli wengingqi ye-WHO e-Afrika, kwingxelo ngoLwesibini.

I-arhente yeZizwe eziManyeneyo ikwabonelela ngobuchule ngokusebenzisa isikhokelo esibalulekileyo sobugcisa kuvavanyo, ukhathalelo lwezonyango, ukuthintela kunye nokulawula usulelo.

Oku kongezelela kwisikhokelo sendlela yokwazisa nokufundisa uluntu ngesi sifo kunye neengozi zaso, kunye nendlela yokusebenzisana noluntu ukuxhasa iinzame zokulawula izifo.

I-WHO ithe nangona i-monkeypox ingekasasazeka kumazwe amatsha e-Afrika, intsholongwane ibikwandisa ukufikelela kwayo ngokwendawo kumazwe ngokuqhambuka kwiminyaka yakutshanje.

Nangona i-monkeypox ingeyonto intsha e-Afrika, ukuqhambuka okukhoyo ngoku kumazwe angenasiphelo, ngakumbi eYurophu nakuMntla Melika, kubangele inkxalabo phakathi kwezazinzulu.

I-arhente yezempilo ikwathi ngoLwesibini ijonge ukuqulatha ukuqhambuka kwenkawu ngokumisa usulelo lwabantu kangangoko kunokwenzeka, ilumkisa ukuba kunokwenzeka ukuba kuqhubeke ukusasazeka eYurophu nakwezinye iindawo kweli hlobo.

Kwisiteyitimenti, i-WHO ithe ummandla wayo waseYurophu "uhleli kweyona ndawo inkulu kunye neyona ndawo ixhaphakileyo yemonkeypox ekhe yaxelwa ngaphandle kweendawo ezigqugqisayo entshona nakumbindi Afrika".
