Mpox outbreak in Portugal: 66 new cases in six weeks put country in third place in Europe

Funchal Notícias15 September 2026 at 17:40

Portugal recorded 66 new mpox cases over a six-week period, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) report released in mid-September 2026. This number places the country as the third most affected in Europe, behind only Spain and France.

The WHO report indicates that cases have been increasing significantly in the country, which has generated concern among health authorities. The situation places Portugal in an unfavorable position compared to other European countries regarding the spread of the disease.

Portuguese health authorities now face the challenge of containing the spread of the outbreak, at a time when the number of infections continues to rise. The WHO has been monitoring the situation in several European countries and will continue to monitor the evolution of mpox in the region.

Why this matters

Readers in Portugal face a growing risk of exposure to mpox, given that the country is among the most affected in Europe. This WHO report indicates a concerning upward trend in cases that may justify reinforced prevention measures, especially for at-risk groups and healthcare professionals.
