Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Health Minister Syed Qasim Ali Shah has visited Bacha Khan International Airport in Peshawar to oversee the screening process for Mpox among arriving passengers.

He personally inspected the screening of passengers and assessed the measures being taken.

On the occasion, the Minister said special instructions have been issued to Medical Teaching Institutions to immediately isolate any suspected Mpox cases identified during OPD consultations and refer them to isolation wards.

Samples from these patients will be sent to the Public Health Reference Lab for analysis to determine whether they have contracted Mpox.
