Our paper contributes to a more nuanced understanding of not only the health care access barriers, but the complex geographical, economic, and sociocultural factors that shape how and when people seek care for Mpox within the context of urban informal settlements. This further draws attention to behavioral dispositions to the nomenclature of what is perceived as PHEIC. Thus, the global health and security paradigm should give room to local context, expertise, and global politics in shaping epidemic responses
