The health of the MPox patient admitted to Sukraraj Tropical and Infectious Disease Hospital last week is improving, according to the hospital.
Dr. Shivendra Jha, the MPox contact physician, reported that the patient’s wounds were healing. The 44-year-old man arrived in Nepal from Saudi Arabia last Saturday and visited the hospital the next day after noticing symptoms. Tests confirmed MPox infection.
The patient is being treated in isolation and will be discharged only after 10 more days, Dr. Jha stated.
The man, originally from Sindhuli and currently living in a rented room in Swayambhu, is the third MPox case treated at the hospital. Two weeks ago, a 36-year-old man from Saudi Arabia was treated and discharged. Similarly, in Ashad, MPox was confirmed in a 60-year-old foreign tourist.
