Buchanan, Grand Bassa – The Incident Management System (IMS) on the National Mpox Response has wrapped up a ten-day Joint Coordination Monitoring and Supportive Supervision Mission in Grand Bassa County, aimed at strengthening the region’s response to the ongoing Mpox outbreak.
The mission, which ran from January 14 to January 23, 2026, was led by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in collaboration with the National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL), with technical and logistical support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
