What is the concern implementation that government has put in place for this
Oh my goodness, this is spreading now with a high speed oooo. May the lord help us and help SL 🇸🇱
Is Mpox is a virus diseases or what?
Why has the government not made any national public announcements across all social media and main stream media.
Mpox is a very serious epidemic.It is national crisis unfolding.
Even more so because Sierra Leone does not have capacity to deal with even everyday medical needs with the lowest number of doctors per population in the world.
We have already had ebola and Covid. So such epidemics are familiar to the ministry of health but still it’s actions are complacent.
More needs to be done to reduce the transmission. No public gatherings or use of certain mode of transport.
