A three-day regional cross-border meeting on the Mpox epidemic is currently underway in Takoradi, Western Region, Ghana.
The meeting brings together stakeholders from Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire to discuss strategies for preventing and responding to the Mpox outbreak, as well as other diseases with epidemic potential.
The West African region has faced numerous public health challenges, including infectious disease outbreaks like Ebola, Lassa fever, measles, and COVID-19, which often transcend national borders.
This highlights the importance of cross-border collaboration in disease surveillance and response.
