Despite the extraordinary and exceptional advances in drugs and vaccine development, sophisticated diagnostic facilities in health care settings, strategies in disease prevention and control, emerging and re-emerging infections are still the leading cause of death and suffering amongst human and animal populations with great impact on the world economy. Monkeypox is a viral disease with the potential to spread across the globe through international travel and movements of animals from endemic areas to susceptible populations. Monkeypox virus is an uncommon but endemic viral disease in Africa, but recent outbreaks occurred in Europe, the US, UK, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, and Italy. There is a need to refurbish the healthcare settings and get prepared for future outbreaks, especially in developing countries with poor healthcare delivery services. Scientists and researchers should also focus on developing vaccines, treatment, and preventive measures before the virus spread further.
