Monkeypox Medicine List Formulary
Overview
From time to time, there are viruses or diseases that affect world health.
Each outbreak is closely monitored by the World Health Organization (WHO) and depending on the severity and spread, can be declared as a global pandemic, or as in the case of monkeypox a Public Health Emergency of International concern.
The WHO Global Outbreak Benefit is available to all members during a declared outbreak period.
The benefit provides cover for approved global disease outbreaks recognised by the World Health Organization (WHO) such as monkeypox.
This benefit offers cover for the vaccine (where applicable and in line with national protocols), testing, diagnosis, out-of-hospital management and appropriate supportive treatment.
The attached document provides information about the medicine list for treatment of monkeypox as part of the WHO Global Outbreak Benefit.
