SADC Health Ministers To Convene Virtual Meeting On Mpox Response

The Southern African Development Community (SADC) will hold a virtual meeting of Ministers of Health on 4 September 2024 to assess the Mpox epidemiological outlook and to develop a coordinated regional response.

In a statement issued this Tuesday, 03 September, the SADC Secretariat said that the Ministers will deliberate on the Mpox situation on the African continent and in the SADC region and discuss how to strengthen public health surveillance at the national level and on how cross-border disease surveillance should be coordinated to improve the rate of detection, strengthen prevention and limit the spread of Mpox.

The Ministers are expected to prioritise the development and implementation of multi-sectoral interventions to limit and control the spread of Mpox especially for countries without Mpox outbreaks to facilitate early detection and treatment.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) have recently declared Mpox as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHIEC) and a Public Health Emergency of Continental Security (PHECS) respectively.

Following the outbreak of Mpox, the 44th SADC Summit of Heads of State and Government held in Harare, Republic of Zimbabwe on 17 August 2024 extended solidarity and support to Member States affected by Mpox and directed the Secretariat to convene an urgent meeting of the Ministers of Health to assess the impact of Mpox and facilitate coordinated regional response to control the spread of the disease.

Autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) are a group of rare skin disorders characterized by the formation of blisters or bullae (large blisters) due to an abnormal immune response. In AIBD, the immune system mistakenly attacks the skin and mucous membranes, leading to blistering and other skin lesions. Common types of AIBD include: 1. *Pemphigus*: A group of diseases that cause blisters on the skin and mucous membranes, including pemphigus vulgaris, pemphigus foliaceus, and paraneoplastic pemphigus. 2. *Bullous pemphigoid*: A disease that causes large blisters on the skin, often on the arms, legs, and abdomen. 3. *Dermatitis herpetiformis*: A disease that causes blistering, itching, and burning sensations on the skin, often associated with celiac disease. 4. *Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita*: A rare disease that causes blistering and scarring on the skin and mucous membranes. Symptoms of AIBD may include: - Blisters or bullae on the skin and/or mucous membranes - Redness and inflammation - Itching, burning, or stinging sensations - Skin crusting and scarring - Mucous membrane involvement (e.g., mouth, nose, eyes) Treatment for AIBD typically involves: - Immunosuppressive medications to reduce the immune system's abnormal response - Topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation - Wound care and dressings to promote healing - Pain management - Lifestyle modifications (e.g., avoiding triggers, protecting the skin) Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage AIBD and prevent complications. If you suspect you or someone else may have an autoimmune blistering disease, consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional for proper evaluation and care.

me as a (SG) Secretary General of the SADC I want to recall one person but I want the public to mention the name of anyone to be recalled.

as the SG of SADC, you wouldn't the constitutional mandate to recall anybody or anything including mwana wako . Please research and know more about SADC before going on a copulation fantasy about how it can "recall" ; " reorder" or even " reconvene"
