Monkeypox: Prevention of a possible outbreak in Asia

This editorial addresses the potential for a monkeypox (Mpox) outbreak in Asia, highlighting increased cases and the urgent need for preventive public health measures. The authors discuss Mpox transmission modes, emphasizing the importance of surveillance, vaccination, and contact tracing based on successful strategies from other countries, such as the United Kingdom. The manuscript underscores the value of robust public health infrastructure and proactive health policies tailored explicitly for Asia’s high-density populations to mitigate the spread of Mpox and protect regional health security.
