Potential Risk of Local Transmission of Mpox in Nepal: An Emerging Public Health Concern
Nepal should strengthen molecular laboratories, enforce national guidelines, enhance border health monitoring, raise public awareness, and ensure timely diagnosis and treatment. Coordinated strategies and preparedness are crucial to prevent potential outbreaks and enhance national readiness against future Mpox threats in Nepal. It is recommended that the Government of Nepal adopt and implement a One Health approach for the early detection, control, and prevention of Mpox to minimize transmission risks.
