Zimbabwe's health ministry officially reported its first two cases of mpox. The announcement was made without disclosing the variant, leaving questions about the nature of the outbreak. Though this denotes a significant event for Zimbabwe, further details such as the patients' locations, demographic information, or the infection's impact remain sparse, creating uncertainty about the country's handling of the situation.

A UK public inquiry has revealed that the infected blood scandal, causing 3,000 deaths and widespread hepatitis and HIV cases, resulted from a neglect of patient safety by doctors and the government, not an accident. Over 30,000 people, including other countries' victims, were affected.
