Monkey pox, a zoonotic viral illness, has lately undergone a global revival, prompting considerable public health concerns. This abstract seeks to deliver a thorough summary of the outbreak, encompassing its transmission, symptoms, prevention efforts, and the significance of international collaboration. Most cases of monkey pox spread through intimate contact with an infected person or animal. This may happen via direct contact with lesions, respiratory droplets, or contaminated objects. Common symptoms encompass fever, headache, tiredness, myalgia, lymphadenopathy, and a rash. Although the majority of instances are minor, serious sickness may manifest in specific populations, including children, pregnant women, and immunocompromised individuals. Several techniques are needed to avert the dissemination of monkey pox. These measures encompass refraining from close contact with diseased persons or animals, maintaining proper hygiene, and receiving vaccinations. Vaccination is especially crucial for high-risk groups, including healthcare professionals and those with compromised immune systems. Global cooperation is essential for properly managing the monkey pox outbreak. The World Health Organisation (WHO) and other international health entities have been instrumental in orchestrating global responses, delivering technical support, and facilitating information exchange. Collaborative initiatives have concentrated on monitoring, case management, and the creation and dissemination of vaccines and treatments. As the monkey pox outbreak progresses, it is crucial to maintain vigilance and execute effective preventive strategies. Comprehending the transmission pathways, symptoms, and preventive measures enables people and communities to significantly reduce the effect of this disease.
