Two New Mpox Deaths Recorded
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has announced two new Mpox deaths, bringing the total number of deaths to six.
It comes as the country has recorded 13 new cases as of 22nd December 2025.
The total number of infections now stands at 947.
Mpox spreads mainly through close contact with someone who has the infection.
The GHS has since encouraged people to protect themselves by avoiding close contact with infected persons, washing their hands often with soap and water, and refraining from regular touching of the eyes, nose, and mouth.
It has also encouraged the members of the public to report to the nearest health facility when experiencing symptoms like fever, rash, headache, muscle aches, or swollen lymph nodes.
“If you notice any of these, visit the nearest health facility immediately.”
