Previously, when the WHO first announced the Covid-19 pandemic as a global health emergency, Bangladesh, among other South Asian countries, showed little sign of taking the warning seriously.

The first case of monkeypox in South Asia was only recently reported in India, where a middle-aged man who arrived from the Middle East was diagnosed with the disease. Within 10 days of that, India has confirmed four monkeypox cases. With the arrival of the disease in South Asia and given how easily such diseases defy borders, Bangladesh needs to act fast.
Moreover, the government should set up expert committees in order to find out as much information about monkeypox as possible, so that health authorities in particular, and people in general, understand the risks and possible preventive measures that can be taken.
