Malawi on high alert as it prepares for potential Mpox outbreak

Malawi has launched a series of screening measures for mpox at all its entry points. This comes in the wake of the country’s first two suspected cases, which has put health authorities on “high alert”.

The threat of mpox looms large over Africa, with a particularly virulent strain creating havoc in neighboring countries. As the virus continues to spread across the continent, Malawi finds itself in a race against time to prevent a full-blown outbreak within its borders.
