AI Summary:
Eastern Congo had been the epicenter of an mpox outbreak, spurred by a new form of the virus that quickly spread to African neighbors. But as the M23 rebel group moved into the region's largest city of Goma on Jan. 26, the conflict has hindered efforts to contain the virus and treat patients. Insecurity has disrupted everything, doctors and patients say. Congo saw a 31% weekly increase in mpox cases last week, bringing the total to 16,255. Only seven out of 26 provinces reported cases in the region last week. The Miti Murhesa treatment center is fast running out of supplies. Only two of the four treatment centers in the zone are currently functional. Many patients in Miti Murhe have had to “choose between staying under fire or fleeing” the rebels, Dr. Cikuru says.
