Assessment reveals significant knowledge gaps in Mpox among health workers in Egypt and the Arab region, indicating urgent educational needs.

Key Points

  • Only 37.6% of Egyptian health workers showed good knowledge of Mpox, highlighting critical gaps in training.
  • The meta-analysis combined data from 30 studies, showing a pooled proportion of 35% for good knowledge and 48% for positive attitudes.
  • Survey utilized descriptive statistics, chi-square, and t-tests for comparison, with subgroup analyses addressing knowledge variances.
  • The findings underscore the need for updated medical curricula and educational programs to improve preparedness in the healthcare sector.
