Book excerpt: The Strategic Framework for enhancing control and achieving elimination of human-to[1]human transmission of mpox (2024-2027) is a guide to Member States on the next phase of the global mpox response and to enhance preparedness for future outbreaks. During the public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) for the global mpox outbreak (July 2022-May 2023), the WHO supported Member States in taking action to stop the outbreak of mpox. In the transition from emergency to long-term response, WHO now recommends that all countries develop and implement plans for mpox control and the elimination of person-to-person transmission of this infectious disease, while continuing to ensure mitigation of zoonotic transmission. This strategic framework supports the development of these strategies.
