At a press conference on Wednesday, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that political commitment from national leaders is crucial, since all five priorities should be implemented at national levels.

He said the COVID-19 pandemic is waning, as is the global mpox outbreak, and there have been no new cases of Ebola in Uganda for more than three weeks.

The WHO Chief added that it’s hopeful that each of these emergencies will be declared over at different points next year.
