New Delhi: Union Health Secretary Apurva Chandra, on Monday, issued a formal advisory to all states and union territories for enhanced surveillance and testing measures to manage and prevent cases of Mpox in India, reported ANI. The move comes following the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) declaration of Mpox as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC).
Despite no positive cases reported at the National Institute of Virology (NIV) in Pune so far, the Health Ministry’s advisory stressed the need for increased awareness, timely reporting, and preventive measures to mitigate public panic. It also highlighted the importance of reviewing public health preparedness at both state and district levels, including the establishment of isolation facilities for suspected and confirmed cases and ensuring the availability of necessary logistics and trained personnel.
