Monkeypox (mpox) is a re-emerging zoonotic viral infection caused by an Orthopoxvirus, clinically resembling smallpox but generally presenting with lower mortality. In recent years, its unexpected spread beyond endemic regions has raised global public health concerns, particularly for low- and middle-income countries with constrained health systems such as Pakistan [1]. The recent outbreak of Monkeypox has highlighted the fact that nurses have a very important role to play in controlling and preventing new infectious illnesses across the globe, including in Pakistan. Previously being regarded as a geographically constrained zoonotic disease, Monkeypox has now shown itself as a worldwide health hazard, accompanied by global travel, commerce, and altered epidemiological distributions.
