Ms Ndung'u said, "We invite you to utilise these centres because they are easily accessible for truckers at border points and weighbridges," she said.
She said the main challenge has however been the truck drivers cannot stop along the highways as they need enough space for parking.
Her sentiments were echoed by the World Health Organisation-Kenya Representative Dr Abdourahmane Diallo who said misinformation associated with stigma remains a major challenge to efforts being put in place to prevent the disease.
Diallo said Mpox remains a global public health concern with Kenya being among the high-risk countries.
He said although WHO's primary focus has been on prevention and raising awareness to protect community well-being, several changes have eroded some of the gains made.
"While we have made significant progress in controlling the disease, we continue to face challenges with misinformation and associated stigma. The media plays a crucial role in addressing these challenges," said Diallo.
Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni said as a result, the Ministry of Health plans to launch a targeted Mpox vaccination campaign.
The initiative she said will focus on high-contact areas and populations most at risk of transmission, aiming to control and prevent further spread of the disease.
UNICEF country representative Luigi Daquino said UNICEF recognises the growing threat of acute health events.
"We are collaborating with government and WHO partners to mobilise resources for affected counties, support healthcare interventions and Raise awareness about disease risks," said Daquino adding, "Special focus should be placed on children and adolescents, who are not immune to these outbreaks."
