In an effort to protect the health of citizens, the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center and local healthcare authorities continue to implement strict security measures to prevent the spread of other infectious diseases, including monkeypox.
According to the state-run Wam news agency, the Abu Dhabi Department of Health and the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC) have instructed all health centres and hospitals to report suspected cases according to the system and detect any cases of infection.

Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that is spread by a virus belonging to the orthopaedic viral genus and is transmitted from infected animals to humans.
The disease is mainly caused by an infection in the rainforests of Central and West Africa, with the first human case being discovered in Africa in 1970. The transmission of the monkeypox virus from animals to humans occurs through direct contact with blood and body fluids. Human-to-human transmission is limited, which can result from close contact with respiratory particles, which may require prolonged face-to-face contact, as well as contact with contaminated areas contaminated with the patient’s fluid. Is likely to be transferred.
