The ministry has also intensified surveillance at sea, land, and air entry points to prevent the spread of Mpox.
The WHO has now declared the current upsurge of mpox in central Africa a public health emergency of international concern.
This is the second time in two years the organisation has issued an alert for the disease.
While Mpox can be transmitted from animals to humans, a recently identified lethal strain is now spreading from person to person.
Since 2022, the WHO has documented more than 21,000 cases of mumps in the DRC, with over 1,000 deaths.
This outbreak is just one of many health threats in the region, alongside cholera, measles, meningitis, and plague, all exacerbated by severe flooding and landslides.
