PETALING JAYA: Malaysia has been actively monitoring potential public health emergencies since August last year, says Datuk Seri Dr Dzulkefly Ahmad (pic), following reports of a new mpox strain discovered in China.
The Health Minister assured the public that sentinel surveillance had been activated at all international entry points since August 2024, after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared mpox a global public health emergency for the second time in two years.
