The Ghana Health Service (GHS) reported 18 new cases of Mpox, which raises the total number of confirmed infections in the country to 346. Despite the rise in cases, the death toll remains steady at one, with no new fatalities and no patients currently requiring hospitalization.
The GHS, in its last briefing on August 7, 2025, emphasized the importance of public vigilance. They urged citizens to avoid close contact with anyone displaying symptoms of the virus and to promptly report any suspected cases to the nearest health facility.
To tackle the spread of Mpox effectively, the Service is collaborating closely with its regional directorates. Together, they are actively tracing contacts and coordinating a national response to manage the situation and protect public health.
As the nation grapples with this outbreak, the call for community awareness and proactive measures remains stronger than ever.
