JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): As monkeypox cases continue to increase globally, Indonesia’s largest group of doctors has created a task force dedicated to combating the virus, saying they are ready to aid the government in preventing an outbreak in the country, which has yet to report any infections.
The new task force, formed by the Indonesian Medical Association (IDI), includes up to 25 doctors from at least six different medical organisations, including the Indonesian Society of Internal Medicine (PAPDI) and the Indonesian Society of Dermatology and Venereology (Perdoski).
