WHO Declares Mpox a Global Public Health Emergency for Second Time

On August 14, 2024, the WHO declared the mpox outbreak in Africa a Public Health Emergency of International Concern for the second time, its highest level of health alert.

Uber announced record profitability and continued international expansion in 2024. The ride-sharing platform is diversifying revenue streams through delivery and mobility services.

Market consolidation continues as Uber acquires smaller regional competitors. The company is investing in autonomous vehicle technology for future transportation solutions.

Profitability milestones indicate that ride-sharing business models have matured significantly.
