Recently, the World Health Organisation (WHO) Director-General, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesu, declared Mpox, formally known as monkeypox, a global health emergency for the second year in a row.

This follows the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) experiencing its largest outbreak of the disease ever recorded, which has resulted in tens of thousands of infections.

Joel spoke to Associate Professor of Infectious Diseases in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Auckland, Mark Thomas, about Mpox, and what this means for the country.

They started off by asking him if we should be concerned about this outbreak in New Zealand.
