We are proud to work alongside @AfricaCDC on this ambitious initiative. The launch of this #Mpox trial is a concrete step forward in our shared mission to advance health research and capacity building across the continent, as outlined in the MoU we signed in February 2024.

[Africa CDC @AfricaCDC]

A ground-breaking clinical trial for #Mpox treatment is set to begin on African soil. @AfricaCDC and @PANTHER_Health have launched the continent's first trial to find effective treatments for #Mpox. Starting in the #DRC, the trial will test the antiviral brincidofovir from @EmergentCDMO. It will focus on vulnerable groups such as women, children & people with #HIV, marking a pivotal step in Africa’s commitment to health research & tackling urgent health threats.

In any #PandemicAgreement, equity is not optional.

We've lost 40 million people to AIDS-related deaths.

The COVID pandemic cost 7 million lives.

The costs of not reaching the first-ever global #PandemicAccord will be simply just too high.

Let's remember the lessons learned from #COVID19 as we tackle the #Mpox crisis in Africa. In #DRC, children make up 70% of cases and 80% of deaths. Research is needed to rapidly develop and test solutions specifically designed for these at-risk populations.

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the need for tailored responses to protect children & enhance readiness for future crises. As @UNICEF & partners scale up capacities, the global health architecture must evolve to prioritize children.

We owe a #PandemicAgreement to:
- those who are still grieving the loss of someone they loved to COVID-19;
- to our children, grandchildren and to generations who have not even been born. They do not have to suffer as we suffered when the next pandemic strikes.

Over decades, the HIV response has shown how it's possible to respond effectively to a pandemic. Any #PandemicAccord must learn from the fight to #endAIDS, and be based on the principles of human rights, equity & solidarity. We mustn't repeat COVID's vaccine apartheid.
