Nigeria has recorded a decline in Mpox cases, with three confirmed cases reported in week 38, spanning between 16 and 22 September.
The number of cases recorded reflected a slight drop from the eight cases reported in the previous week.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (NCDC) made this known in its latest situation reports (spanning 16-22 September) published on its website on Monday.
Although there were no deaths, NCDC said it is essential to note that Mpox remains a concern, particularly with 24 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) recording at least one confirmed case across 54 Local Government Areas this year.
