%X After half a century as a regional disease in Central and West Africa, Monkeypox reemerged in 2022 and   spread on a transnational and transcontinental scale. The World Health Organization (WHO) classified it as a   Public Health Emergency of International Concern due to its rapid spread caused by the ease of global   mobilization, risk deviant behaviors, and potential for virus mutations. Through literature review and other   secondary data sources, this study scrutinized the risk of Monkeypox disease in Indonesia. Given the country's   various characteristics, such as geographical conditions, demographics, population mobility, and virus   characteristics, it is most likely that there were Monkeypox cases in Indonesia, but they might not have been   detected. Therefore, early vigilance must be owned by the community and accompanied by policy support and   intervention to prevent Monkeypox transmission, particularly in surveillance efforts.
