#Dakar. Just to confirm what @Chikwe_I said : #RCCE is key. "No epidemic has ever been solved by simply treating the affected person". Dr. George Albee."It is more important to know the person than the disease he suffers from". Hippocrates. #ProudToBeWHO.
We learnt a lot from the West Africa Ebola outbreak. Working with communities is always at the heart of public health response. When they have a voice & are empowered, they catalyse action. Your @WHO is on the ground, supporting #SierraLeone to strengthen #mpox control measures.

Dear colleagues. Happy to give support to #SaoTome. Listen to community concerns & address them together. Take their perceptions into account. Build lasting trust. Communicate even in times of uncertainty. #RCCE is key before, during & after an emergency.
