Njengoba kusaqhubeka imizamo yokunqanda ukuqubuka kwamanje kwe-monkeypox emazweni aseNtshonalanga angenasici, i-World Health Organization icela ukwesekwa kwamazwe ase-Afrika, lapho lesi sifo sigcwele khona, ukuze kuqiniswe ukubhekwa kanye nokusabela kulesi sifo esibangelwa amagciwane.
"Kufanele sikugweme ukuba nezimpendulo ezimbili ezihlukene nge-monkeypox - eyodwa yamazwe aseNtshonalanga manje asakazwa kakhulu futhi enye yase-Afrika," kusho uMatshidiso Moeti, umqondisi wesifunda se-WHO e-Afrika, esitatimendeni ngoLwesibili.
“Kumele sisebenzisane futhi sibe nezinyathelo ezihlangene zomhlaba wonke, ezihlanganisa ulwazi lwe-Afrika, ubuchwepheshe kanye nezidingo. Lena ukuphela kwendlela yokuqinisekisa ukuthi siqinisa ukubhekwa futhi sikuqonde kangcono ukuvela kwalesi sifo, ngenkathi sikhulisa ukulungela nokusabela ukunqanda noma yikuphi ukusakazeka okuqhubekayo. ”
Maphakathi noMeyi, amazwe ayisikhombisa ase-Afrika abesebike amacala ayi-1,392 asolwa ngokuba yi-monkeypox kanye namacala angama-44 aqinisekisiwe, kusho i-WHO. Lezi zihlanganisa iCameroon, Democratic Republic of the Congo kanye neSierra Leone.
Ukuvimbela ukutheleleka okwengeziwe ezwenikazi, i-WHO isekela imizamo yokuqinisa ukuhlonzwa kwelabhorethri, ukubhekwa kwezifo, ukulungela kanye nezinyathelo zokusabela ngokubambisana nezikhungo zesifunda, abalingani bezobuchwepheshe kanye nezezimali.
I-ejensi yeZizwe Ezihlangene iphinde inikeze ubungcweti ngokusebenzisa isiqondiso sezobuchwepheshe esibalulekile ekuhloleni, ekunakekelweni komtholampilo, ekuvimbeleni nasekulawuleni izifo.
Lokhu kungaphezu kwesiqondiso sendlela yokwazisa nokufundisa umphakathi ngalesi sifo nobungozi baso, nokuthi ungabambisana kanjani nemiphakathi ukweseka imizamo yokulawula izifo.
I-WHO ithe yize i-monkeypox ingasakazeki emazweni amasha angenasifo e-Afrika, leli gciwane belikhulisa ukufinyelela kwalo emazweni anokuqubuka eminyakeni yamuva nje.

"I-Afrika ibe ngempumelelo nokuqubuka kwe-monkeypox futhi ngokwalokho esikwaziyo ngegciwane nezindlela zokutheleleka, ukwanda kwezifo kunganqanyulwa," kusho uMoeti.
Nakuba i-monkeypox ingeyona into entsha e-Afrika, ukuqubuka kwamanje emazweni angagcini lapho, ikakhulukazi eYurophu naseNyakatho Melika, kubangele ukukhathazeka kososayensi.
Isikhungo sezempilo siphinde sathi ngoLwesibili sihlose ukuqukatha ukuqubuka kwemonkeypox ngokumisa ukutheleleka kwabantu ngezinga eliphezulu kakhulu, ixwayisa ngokuthi amandla okuqhubekela phambili kokutheleleka eYurophu nakwezinye izindawo kuleli hlobo aphakeme.
Esitatimendeni, i-WHO ithe isifunda sayo sase-Europe "sisale sisesigabeni sokuqubuka kwemonkeypox esikhulu kunazo zonke futhi esisabalele kakhulu esake sabikwa ngaphandle kwezindawo eziwubhubhane entshonalanga namaphakathi ne-Afrika".
