Ghana has recorded 14 new cases of Mpox, bringing the country’s total confirmed infections to 133 as of Tuesday, June 25, 2025.
This was disclosed in the latest update by the Ghana Health Service (GHS).
The Service, however, clarified that no deaths or active hospital admissions have been recorded so far, although surveillance efforts remain heightened.
The latest cases come days after seven additional infections were reported on June 16, raising the total to 98 at the time.
Prior to that, six new cases were detected on June 12, with two patients hospitalized under close observation.
The rise in infections has raised concerns about possible community transmission, especially as health officials say some cases have no known links to previously confirmed infections.
Health authorities have urged the public to strictly observe preventive measures, including avoiding close contact with infected individuals, practicing good hand hygiene, and seeking medical attention when symptoms such as fever, rash, headache, or swollen lymph nodes appear.
The Ghana Health Service has intensified surveillance at entry points, health facilities, and high-risk areas, while public education campaigns continue nationwide.
The Service has also assured the public that frontline health workers are undergoing specialized training to enhance detection, containment, and case management as part of efforts to curb the spread of the disease.
Mpox is a contagious viral disease transmitted through close contact with infected persons, animals, or contaminated surfaces.
Early detection and adherence to safety guidelines remain essential to controlling its spread.
The Ghana Health Service has called for calm, urging the public to cooperate with health officials and adhere to all recommended precautions.
