Dear esteemed IPA colleagues,

As pediatricians are trusted sources of health information in their community, they have the important role of helping communities deal with Mpox, which the World Health Organization has declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in mid-August 2024. While the majority of recent cases involving children have been in Africa, families and communities from there and elsewhere may have questions and concerns.

Therefore, the International Pediatric Association (IPA) has prepared and published a statement on Mpox.

The statement is also available on the IPA Website: https://bit.ly/IPAStatementOnMpox

Thank you.

Best regards,
IPA Admin Office
