Following the declaration of the end of the Covid 19 epidemic, the World Health Organization declares the end of another public health emergency linked to Mpox, known as monkeypox. It is an infection caused by an African strain that emerged a year ago. Vaccines have halted the spread of a disease that has infected approximately 100,000 people worldwide, including Italy. This is also good news because its sudden appearance in the spring of 2022 have put additional strain on health-care systems that were already struggling after the three-year pandemic. With the formal conclusion of emergencies, it is now up to us to put what we have learned to good use. For example, we have discovered that there is a close relationship between health, the environment, social organization, and lifestyle. During a public meeting, Silvio Brusaferro, president of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, recalled this. At the same time, the head of the Revenue Agency, economist Ernesto Maria Ruffini, stated that while coronavirus vaccines were important, information was perhaps more important. For the first time, at the Istituto Superiore di Sanità, there was discussion of Covid in the past, but with the understanding that it is necessary to equip for the future.
