Health authorities in Ghana have confirmed two new cases of Mpox, pushing the country’s total caseload to 119 as of June 22, 2025.
In its latest situational update, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) stated that no new fatalities have been recorded, and the death toll from the disease remains at zero. There are also currently no patients hospitalized for Mpox.
While the number of active cases appears contained, health officials are urging Ghanaians not to let down their guard. Mpox, previously referred to as monkeypox, is a contagious viral illness that spreads primarily through direct contact with infected individuals or contaminated materials.
The GHS has warned that complacency could trigger a resurgence and has called on the public to remain vigilant. Individuals experiencing symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, or rash are advised to seek immediate medical care.
“Early detection and strict adherence to safety protocols remain our best defense,” the GHS emphasized in its release.
The Service says it is continuing to closely monitor the outbreak and is ready to scale up response efforts should the situation change.
So far, the country’s containment strategy appears to be working, but health officials stress that continued public cooperation is essential to preventing a wider outbreak.
