WHO's Tedros: Monkeypox July 23

WHO's Tedros: "I have decided that the global #monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern."

Tedros and WHO leadership overruled a panel of advisers who voted against the declaration (9 against, 6 in favor). Tedros added this panel vote is just informal. He is the one to make the final decisions, not the panel.
