<p>The study identified East African countries already with infected cases are: Burundi, Rwanda, and Uganda, according to the World Health Organization. However, Ethiopia not yet reported suspected as well as confirmed case until 14 August 2024. As part of its emergency preparedness, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health announced that "stronger than usual" health monitoring and inspection measures are being implemented across the country's border-crossing points and major international gateways in connection with the ongoing mpox outbreak in Africa is the show case of the strong commitment of the government of Ethiopia to contain the pandemic. In response to this development, Ethiopia’s Ministry of Health has declared Mpox a national public health emergency. Furthermore, it has been emphasized that a collaborative effort by all African countries is imperative in preventing the disease’s dissemination. The Ministry has established a Public Health Disaster Coordination and Response Center to facilitate preparedness, monitoring, and response measures at the national level as part of its mandate of emergency preparedness initiatives and policy provisions.&nbsp;</p><p>The country’s call to all citizens on the media about the outbreak of the mpox disease directly transmitted through human contact, the ministry urged citizens to immediately report to the nearest health facilities if they exhibit the disease's symptoms is an essential initial communication. However, the survey result show that only 37% of the people know about the mPox is a deadly disease, it symptoms and preventive treatment measures that can it can be tracked and controlled if the outbreak happens in Ethiopia. &nbsp; About 46% of the study participants identified common symptoms include a skin rash or mucosal lesions lasting 2–4 weeks, fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain, low energy, and swollen lymph nodes. The virus can be transmitted to humans through physical contact with an infectious person, contaminated materials, or infected animals. Nevertheless our reconnaissance survey result shows that public awareness is at its infant stage on the viral infection, transmission mechanism and preventive treatment systems &nbsp; among citizens of the country. The timely focus and urgency of Ethiopia at critical borders with particular emphasis on checkpoints along three Ethiopian regions, namely Oromia, Somali, and South Ethiopia is the right move to control its emergency in the country.</p>
