Abstract

Dear Editor,

World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared Monkeypox a global health emergency which raises a serious concern after the COVID-19 pandemic. In 1970, a nine-month-old child in the Democratic Republic of the Congo was diagnosed with monkeypox. Since the 1970s, monkeypox has not only been ubiquitous in Africa, but it has also become a severe public health problem as it has spread to several parts of the world.
