Article Synopsis
- Monkeypox is a significant public health concern in Nigeria, prompting a study to evaluate healthcare workers' knowledge about the disease.
- A survey of 609 healthcare workers revealed that while over half had a good understanding of monkeypox, many were unaware of certain symptoms, the potential for sexual transmission, and the implications for social and economic aspects in Nigeria.
- The findings stress the need for ongoing education for healthcare workers to address these knowledge gaps and improve management strategies for future outbreaks.
