The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has confirmed 10 new Mpox cases, raising the national tally to 19.
Health officials say five of the confirmed patients are currently hospitalized and receiving treatment. No deaths have been reported in this recent outbreak.
The World Health Organization (WHO) is urging African nations to boost investment in Mpox diagnostics, vaccine development, and public awareness campaigns. It warns that without swift action, the virus could spread further.
WHO also emphasizes the need to de-stigmatize discussions around Mpox to encourage affected individuals to seek timely medical care.
