Health experts note that Mpox spreads mainly through close contact with an infected person. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain, swollen lymph nodes, and a rash.

The health authorities have urged the public to practice good hygiene and seek immediate medical care if they develop any Mpox symptoms in Ghana.

Mpox is a viral disease transmitted to humans through close contact with an infected person, animal or contaminated materials.

Symptoms include rash, fever, headaches, muscle aches, back pain, low energy, and swollen lymph nodes.

In August last year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to the emergence of a new variant in Africa.

Currently, more than 13 African countries have reported Mpox cases.

It is the second time in two years that the WHO has issued this alert.

As of last year, over 17,000 suspected cases and 517 deaths were reported on the continent, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

The WHO has approved the use of an Mpox vaccine, expected to facilitate “timely and increased access” for those at risk, especially in Africa, where more than 20,000 infections have been reported.
