Core Tip	On August 14, 2024, the World Health Organization director-general declared that the upsurge of Monkeypox (Mpox) cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and in Africa constitute a public health emergency of international concern. Burundi, which borders the DRC to the east, declared a Mpox outbreak on July 25, 2024 and had just over confirmed cases of 500 Mpox, classifying Burundi as the second most affected country in Africa after the DRC. This study revealed that Burundi healthcare workers have the lowest level of knowledge regarding Mpox and a lack of confidence in the ability to diagnose, treat or prevent Mpox.
