Jordan's Health Ministry announced on Monday that the country registered its first case of mpox in 2024.
The state-run Petra news agency quoted the ministry as saying the infected individual is a 33-year-old non-Jordanian male resident who developed a mpox rash and was subsequently diagnosed with the disease through a laboratory test.
The ministry stated that the man, isolated at Al Basheer Hospitals in Amman, is in stable medical condition.
It also mentioned that it will continue to monitor mpox closely and will not withhold any detected cases, adding that it is prepared to handle any developments related to the disease according to the pre-established national plan in collaboration with relevant authorities.
According to the ministry, this case was not the first for the kingdom; it recorded a case, formerly known as monkeypox, back in 2022.
