Pakistan’s efforts to combat mpox escalate as Peshawar records its fourth case, raising concerns of a potential hotspot.

On August 29, a 47-year-old man returning from the Gulf region tested positive, having been isolated by Border Health Services staff. This incident adds to the growing worries about the virus entering via international travellers.

“This year, we have reported five mpox cases, four following the WHO’s declaration of a global health emergency,” stated Dr. Shabana Saleem, Federal Director General of Health.

The re-emergence in Peshawar prompts urgent measures. Dr. Saleem highlighted that all recent infections had involved travel from the Gulf, emphasizing the city’s potential as an emerging epicentre.

Efforts to curb the spread are intensifying, with enhanced screening at all airports. “We are implementing robust screening systems to ensure public safety,” Dr. Saleem reassured.

Federal and provincial health authorities are meticulously monitoring the situation. “Our teams are working tirelessly to keep preventive measures active and effective,” she added.

The recent spike in mpox cases has alarmed health experts and the public, sparking demands for stricter travel regulations and greater awareness.

Dr. Saleem called for public cooperation, especially from those returning from affected areas. “Everyone’s cooperation is essential to halt the spread of mpox,” she cautioned. “Together, we can control this virus effectively.”
