The perceived benefits associated with the prospective determination of a PHEIC include:
13732
保持高度意识和警觉有助于增加阻断猴痘病毒人际传播的可能性;
Maintaining a heightened level of awareness and alert, which would increase the probability of stopping human-to-human transmission of monkeypox virus;
13733
加强对应对工作的政治承诺;
Boostingpolitical commitment towards response efforts;
13734
增加为应对和研究目的以及减轻该病的社会经济影响而调动资金的机会;
Increasing opportunities for funds to be released for response, and research purposes, as well as for the mitigation of the socioeconomic impact of the disease;
13735
加强国际应对工作协调,特别是确保公平获得疫苗和抗病毒药物;
Boosting international coordination of response efforts, in particular to secure equitable access to vaccines and antivirals;
The possible stigmatization, marginalization, and discrimination that may result from the prospective determination of a PHEIC should not be regarded as deterrent to do so, and would need to be addressed.

在世卫组织秘书处2022年6月23日向委员会陈述全球总体风险评估之后,全球总体风险评估并无变化;
The overall global risk assessment presented by the WHO Secretariat remained unchanged with respect to that presented to the Committee on 23 June 2022;
The greatest burden of the outbreak is currently reported in 12 countries in Europe and in the Americas, with no indications, based on currently available data, of an exponential increase in the number of cases in any of those countries, and early signs of stabilization or declining trends observed in some countries;
The vast majority of cases are observed among MSM with multiple partners, and, despite the operational challenges, there is the opportunity to stop ongoing transmission with interventions targeted to this segment of the population.
