The Ahafo Regional Health Directorate has confirmed that all three patients who contracted the Monkeypox (Mpox) virus in the region have fully recovered, easing public concerns about the outbreak.
Speaking at a stakeholders’ meeting in Hwidiem, Regional Health Director Dr. Akosua Owusu-Sarpong revealed that the cases were recorded in the Asunafo North and Asunafo South districts.
She commended health workers for their swift response and effective management, which ensured the patients’ recovery.
Dr. Owusu-Sarpong assured the public that there is no cause for fear or panic, noting that thorough contact tracing was carried out to protect families and communities.
She, however, urged residents to remain vigilant and seek immediate medical attention if they notice symptoms such as rashes, fever, sore throat, headache, back pain, low energy, muscle aches, or swollen lymph nodes.
“Early reporting is key to saving lives. Anyone who develops these symptoms should quickly visit the nearest health facility,” she advised.
