The Minister of Health guarantees that Mozambique is prepared to diagnose Monkeypox. Of the suspected cases tested, none tested positive for the disease. Armindo Tiago was speaking today on the sidelines of the National Independence Day celebrations. Mozambique is prepared to control the disease.”The country is prepared to diagnose Monkeypox. The form of suspicion of the disease is known to health professionals. We have already had suspected cases, we have tested, but no case has been confirmed in the country”, said the Minister of Health. Armindo Tiago says that the country is attentive to the occurrences and asks for calm. “Monkey smallpox is an endemic disease, which means that it exists, permanently, in some African countries central and eastern, but when it leaves those countries, it becomes an outbreak disease. Thus, its transmission level is relatively much lower. Therefore, despite the concern that occurs today, monkeypox is a concern that will be controlled like any other pandemic”, he concluded. Worldwide, there are more than a thousand cases of monkeypox and, more recently, South Africa detected the first case in a patient with no travel history. Source:O País
