The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has sounded a loud national alarm as reported Mpox infections climb dangerously close to the 1,000 mark, sparking growing concern among health officials and the public alike.
In a stark warning, the GHS cautioned that the steady rise in cases signals a serious public health threat that cannot be ignored. Officials say the trend underscores the urgent need for heightened surveillance, early reporting, and strict adherence to preventive measures as the disease continues to spread across multiple areas.
Health authorities are urging citizens to remain vigilant, avoid close contact with suspected cases, and report symptoms immediately to the nearest health facility. The GHS emphasized that complacency could reverse hard-won public health gains and place immense pressure on the healthcare system.
As anxiety builds nationwide, the Service insists that public cooperation will be key to containing the outbreak before it spirals out of control. With infections edging closer to the 1,000-case threshold, the message from health officials is clear: this is not the time to let down our guard.
