North Macedonia Reports First Cases of Mpox

North Macedonia reported its first two mpox cases on Friday in the capital city of Skopje, involving two males diagnosed through multiple lab tests.
The cases appeared against the backdrop of a global and regional increase in mpox infections, with the disease previously largely limited to several African nations prior to its broader spread starting in 2022.
Health officials confirmed the cases are unconnected, the patients had no recent travel abroad, and authorities have activated protocols to handle the outbreak.
Deputy Health Minister Jovica Andovski stated that mpox is not a new illness and that treatment guidelines are already in place, while Marija Andonovska, director of the Public Health Institute, confirmed that the infections occurred independently.
The detection of monkeypox infections in North Macedonia underscores the need for ongoing vigilance and readiness, with officials assuring the public that the healthcare system is well-equipped to address the situation.
