The Tema Metropolitan Health Directorate has announced that one confirmed Mpox (formerly known as Monkeypox) case has fully recovered and been discharged from isolation. 

Dr Sally Quartey, Tema Metro Director of Health Services, disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview. 

Dr Quartey noted that Tema confirmed a case of MPOX on June 21, 2025, adding that the patient was subsequently isolated according to protocols after discharge from the hospital. 

She added that the patient has “fully recovered and been discharged from isolation”. 

The directorate noted that contacts listed at the health facility visited by the patient, as well as the place of work and residence, were followed up from the last day of contact with the case. 

“They have all been cleared after none of them developed signs and symptoms during the period of follow-up.”  

Dr Quartey noted that measures taken to prevent a spread included heightened surveillance at all health facilities, including the port of entry, and responding to all rumours by investigating and following up on all suspected cases. 

The directorate has also intensified social mobilisation and education activities through radio discussions and sensitisation meetings with organised groups and stakeholders, as well as engaging in market and lorry park storms and community sensitisation through public address systems.

 She added that the Tema Metropolitan Public Health Emergency Management Committee has also started rolling out plans to curb the disease.  

The health director advised the public to report to any health facility as soon as they, a family member, or an acquaintance, start complaining of headaches, fever, or rash. 

“Avoid touching dead rodents with bare hands, stay at home if you have been diagnosed with Mpox, and wash hands with soap under running water.”

Mpox is an infectious viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), which has symptoms including a painful rash that can develop into lesions, fever, headache, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes.

Mpox is said to be transmissible through close contact with patients and infected animals, among other things. contaminated materials or infected animals.

According to the Ghana Health Service, as of June 20, 2025, Ghana has recorded a total of 108 Mpox cases with no deaths documented.
