Prime Minister Narendra Modi is closely monitoring the MPox situation in India, emphasizing the need for enhanced surveillance and prompt detection of cases. In a recent directive, he instructed Dr. P.K. Mishra, the principal secretary, to ensure that the network of testing laboratories is fully equipped for early diagnosis. Currently, 32 laboratories are operational for this purpose. The government’s proactive approach aims to prevent the spread of the virus and ensure public safety, reflecting a commitment to health security amidst rising concerns about infectious diseases.
