Pakistan's National Command and Operation Centre, originally established for COVID-19, is now focused on monitoring the mpox virus. The government is taking the threat seriously, with hospitals setting up isolation wards and airport screenings in place. Despite financial challenges, authorities claim they are prepared to manage the virus, although experts warn that a major outbreak could place severe strain on the already overburdened healthcare system.
