First human death due to monkeypox virus in Pakistan: a public health concern for resource-limited non-endemic countries
As the global threat of COVID-19 escalates, countries like Pakistan are still reeling from outbreaks of monkeypox virus (mpox). The first reported death due to mpox has raised concerns among locals. Mpox, which is related to smallpox, transmits through contact and respiratory droplets. Diagnosis relies on laboratory tests, and although no specific vaccine for mpox exists, the smallpox vaccine provides some protection. Pakistan’s response strategy emphasizes surveillance, increasing public awareness, and enhancing healthcare readiness, highlighting the need for a coordinated approach to control and prevent further outbreaks.
