Calls for Reduced Mpox Testing Prices Amid Global Health Challenges

Recent cases of mpox and bird flu in the U.S. highlight the urgent need for equitable healthcare solutions and enhanced disease surveillance. As the world faces these health challenges, the call for affordable testing and treatment options intensifies.
