The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Muhammad Ali Pate, has said Nigeria has tightened its border surveillance in response to growing threats of mpox, a viral disease caused by the Mpox virus, in many parts of Africa.
This was contained in a statement issued by the minister’s Senior Adviser, Media and External Relations, Tashikalmah Hallah, on Thursday.
He said the country has also intensified monitoring and screening procedures at all entry points across the country to prevent internal infection and the spread of the disease.
