General objective: to measure the preparedness of pharmacists and medical interns about monkeypox
Specific objectives: to evaluate the level of knowledge among pharmacists and medical interns about monkeypox treatment and nature of disease
Globally, the ongoing outbreak was declared as a public health emergency. After the first laboratory-confirmed case of monkeypox was reported in Singapore on May 2019, countries all over the world started to strengthen disease surveillance systems. One challenge in preventing monkeypox is a lack of knowledge, particularly among healthcare workers.
Study significance: to examine in detail the preparedness and the perception of pharmacists and medical interns about monkeypox and to evaluate the level of knowledge about monkeypox management and nature of disease.
