Mpox: Angola is the second African country with most recent cases of the disease – WHO

SAPO Notícias14 September 2026 at 20:06

Angola recorded 184 mpox cases between July 6 and August 16, representing the second highest number of infections in Africa during that period. The cumulative total of infections in the country rose to 274, according to World Health Organization data. One death was recorded in Angolan territory.

The country trails only another unspecified African nation in terms of new cases on the continent during the analyzed period. WHO is monitoring the disease's evolution at the continental level, having provided this data on the situation in Angola.

Why this matters

The situation places Angola as one of the main hotspots of the disease on the continent, requiring reinforced epidemiological surveillance. Angolan citizens face a direct risk of contagion, especially in densely populated urban areas, and health authorities need to intensify prevention and treatment responses.
