En julio de 2022, Perú se unió a una oleada global al confirmar dieciocho casos de viruela del mono concentrados en Lima, recordándonos que las enfermedades emergentes no respetan fronteras ni calendarios. Las autoridades sanitarias, forjadas por la experiencia pandémica reciente, respondieron con una movilización metódica: vigilancia casa por casa, brigadas móviles y supervisión hospitalaria. El brote, pequeño en número pero significativo en señal, puso a prueba la capacidad del Estado para actuar antes de que lo manejable se vuelva incontrolable.
