Burundi’s Ministry of Public Health says 193 people are hospitalised with Mpox as it grapples with public sensitisation to stem the spread of the disease.
The ministry said in a statement that 231 people had been diagnosed with the disease by August 25 and, among the patients, 38 had been treated and discharged. No death has been reported.
