The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has reported 18 new cases of Mpox, raising the total number of confirmed infections in the country to 346 as of August 7, 2025.

The nationwide death toll remains at one, with no new fatalities recorded in the latest update.

This marks a slower increase compared to the previous update on July 30, when 20 new cases were recorded, pushing the total to 302 and marking the first death since the disease was detected in Ghana.

According to the GHS, Mpox continues to spread mainly through close physical contact with infected persons.

The disease presents symptoms such as fever, skin rashes, and swollen lymph nodes.

The health service has advised the public to avoid close contact with individuals showing symptoms, wash hands regularly with soap under running water, wear a mask when caring for a sick person, and avoid contact with animals that could carry the virus.

Officials also urge anyone experiencing symptoms to seek medical attention immediately.

Mpox, previously known as Monkeypox, is a viral infection that can be particularly dangerous for children, pregnant women, and people with existing health problems.

The GHS says it is closely monitoring the situation and working with regional health directorates to trace contacts, step up public education, and manage the outbreak.
