India has reported its first case of the Mpox Clade 1 strain, which led the WHO to declare a public health emergency last month. The patient, a 38-year-old man from Kerala's Malappuram district, recently returned from the UAE and is stable under observation. The fast-spreading strain is endemic to Central Africa and can cause severe illness. Since the WHO's 2022 declaration, India has seen 30 Mpox cases. Over 800 suspected Mpox deaths have been reported across Africa this year.
