Ghana Mpox cases have climbed to 170, following the confirmation of seven new infections by the Ghana Health Service (GHS) as of July 6, 2025. This latest figure marks a steady increase, coming just days after 30 cases were reported on June 30.
Although the country has seen a rise in Mpox cases, health officials assure the public that the situation remains under control, with no new hospitalisations or deaths reported.
Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a viral infection that spreads mainly through close, direct contact with an infected person. Symptoms often include fever, swollen lymph nodes, body aches, and a distinctive rash. While many cases are mild, complications can occur without early medical attention.
In light of the new cases, the GHS is intensifying public education, urging Ghanaians to adhere to hygiene protocols and report symptoms promptly. Authorities stress that early detection and rapid response are key to preventing further spread.
The GHS has also reaffirmed its commitment to aggressive surveillance, contact tracing, and community engagement as it works to curb the outbreak.
As total Ghana Mpox cases now stand at 170, health officials are calling for increased public cooperation, reminding citizens that prevention is a collective responsibility.
