 Resident Doctors Suspend Planned Strike The Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) has suspended its planned nationwide strike, earlier scheduled to commence today Monday 12th of January 2026, Following fresh engagements with the Federal Government, The North-Central caucus of the association announced the suspension after a series of consultations with government representatives, saying the decision was taken in the interest of patients while discussions continue. The caucus leader, Dr Fanen Dogoh, however, said the suspension does not mean the issues that prompted the strike threat have been resolved. The resident doctors had planned to embark on industrial action over the continued failure of the government to honour a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reached with the National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).

 Africa CDC Approves First Locally Made Mpox Test from Morocco


The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has officially endorsed Morocco's first locally produced mpox test, marking a significant achievement in the fight against the virus across the continent. The test, a real-time PCR diagnostic tool, can rapidly detect mpox DNA in blood, saliva, or tissue samples. 


This endorsement, announced on Thursday, follows the Africa CDC's declaration of the mpox outbreak as a public health emergency three months ago. The approval highlights the test's reliability and effectiveness in detecting the virus, underscoring the African Union's ongoing efforts to enhance the self-sufficiency of public health systems on the continent.


The World Health Organization (WHO) had previously approved the Alinity m MPXV assay, another mpox diagnostic test, which detects the virus from lesion swabs. Since the beginning of the year, more than 50,000 cases of mpox and around 1,100 deaths have been reported across Africa, with Central Africa accounting for the majority of cases and fatalities.


Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a viral disease transmitted from infected animals to humans and can spread through close human-to-human contact. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, and large skin lesions, and it can be fatal if not properly managed.
