5:28Now PlayingOn August 14, 2024, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox disease, a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). This decision was prompted by the emergence of a new, highly transmissible strain known as clade 1, which has been linked to more severe illness. The declaration serves as a global call to action, highlighting the urgent need for heightened awareness and coordinated international efforts to curb the spread of this dangerous virus.
In light of this declaration, the Ministry of Health, Wellness, and Elderly Affairs has swiftly implemented a series of proactive measures to strengthen the country’s readiness and response capabilities. Recognizing the potential threat posed by the new Mpox strain, the Ministry has established a robust, coordinated system designed to enhance surveillance, facilitate early detection, and ensure the effective management of potential cases.
