The Philippines has reported its first case of mpox since the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency, raising concerns about the spread of the disease.
The Department of Health confirmed a 33-year-old Filipino man is infected with mpox, showcasing symptoms like fever and distinct rash, but details on the strain remain unclear.
Health officials in the Philippines are focusing on managing the situation and ensuring testing is accessible, mitigating public panic by communicating readiness and transparency.
