The National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) has ramped up efforts to monitor potential monkeypox cases at border crossings, including Mitiga Airport and Tripoli Port. 

In a workshop held for international health monitoring teams, the focus was placed on enhancing preparedness and developing professional skills to detect any suspected cases of the virus.

The workshop covered initial procedures for screening travellers, identifying symptoms of monkeypox, and managing suspected cases. This initiative follows a directive from the World Health Organization regarding the spread of the virus.

Officials have also updated contact information for monitoring teams stationed at key border crossings to ensure swift action and coordination.
