8 Mac 2010 - MAPTB

MESSAGEDato’ Sri Liow Tiong LaiThe Honorable Minister of Health,Ministry of Health MalaysiaTuberculosis (TB) is still an important public health challenge e in Malaysia with about 18,000 casesnotifi ed in 2009. This makes TB the second highest communicable municable disease notifi ed in Malaysiaafter Dengue Fever. To address this issue, the Ministry of Health is currently drafting the NationalTB Strategic Plan to meet the varied challenges of TB control in Malaysia.The theme for World TB day 2011, ‘On the Move against Tuberculosis - Transforming the Fight towardsElimination’, also mirrors the key initiatives of the Ministry of Health (MOH) in strengthening the currentstrategies to meet the challenges of TB control in Malaysia. Among the challenges facing the nationalTB control programme include early detection of cases, improving treatment compliance, TB-HIVco-infection, an aging population and TB among foreign workers.In this multi-pronged approach to TB control, key non-governmental organizations such as the MalaysianAssociation for the Prevention of Tuberculosis (MAPTB) play an important role in maintaining advocacyand awareness of TB in the community. The MOH appreciates the various activities that the MAPTB hadinstituted over the years such as health education talks, community awareness campaigns and thedisbursement of the Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS) to needy TB patients as an incentive to completeTB treatment.The MOH also recognizes the efforts of MAPTB to enhance the clinical/ public health skills of the variousstaff in the TB control programme, that was refl ected in the organization of the 1st Asia Pacifi c RegionalConference of the International Union Against TB & Lung Disease (IUATLD) in Kuala Lumpur in 2007 andthe support for the TB & Lung Symposium 2010 in Penang.We are confi dent that this good working relationship between the MOH and MAPTB will continue andbe enhanced in the future in our joint fi ght towards the elimination of TB as a public health challenge inMalaysia.DATO’ SRI LIOW TIONG LAI02

Hamid, AMN,PPN.Puan Sally SohPhotographerPuan Noorsheela bte Mohd SidekSetahun telah berlalu pantas semenjak edisi terakhir MAPTB Newsletter telah diedarkan. Dalamtempoh ini, pejabat persekutuan MAPTB berserta dengan persatuan MAPTB negeri telahmelaksanakan berbagai program pendidikan kesihatan dan advokasi masyarakat tentang penyakitTB. Ini disamping peranan MAPTB dalam menyalurkan bantuan kewangan kepada pesakitTB miskin melalui program ‘Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS)’. Selain daripada aktiviti-aktiviti ini, pihakMAPTB juga telah memulakan inisitaif baru saperti pertandingan karangan mengenai penyakit TBdan mengeluarkan risalah ‘Encik Tuber’ untuk meningkatkan lagi kesedaran penyakit TB dikalangangolongan muda.Walaubagaimanapun, penyakit TB masih mencatitkan angka jangkitan yang kian meningkat perlahandengan hampir 18,000 kes TB dinotifi kasi di Malaysia pada tahun 2009. Pada masa ini, kawalan penyakitTB merupakan satu indikator kesihatan yang sukar dicapai oleh negara Malaysia menjelang tahun 2015mengikut persetujuan ‘Millennium Development Goals’ (MDG). Justeru itu, Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysiaakan melancarkan Pelan Strategik Kawalan TB Nasional pada tahun ini. Pelan ini akan juga merangkumikepentingan kerjasama erat diantara pihak kerajaan, pertubuhan bukan kerajaan (seperti MAPTB) danpihak swasta untuk bersama menangani cabaran TB di Malayisa. MAPTB bersedia untuk memainkanperanannya dengan efektif untuk menjayakan pelan strategik nasional ini.Akhir kata, adalah diharap bahawa perbincangan peruntukan kewangan untuk aktiviti pendidikan &advokasi TB diantara Kementerian Kesihatan Malayisa dan MAPTB dapat diselesaikan dengan persetujuanoleh semua pihak berkaitan supaya aktiviti-aktiviti ini dapat dilaksanakan dengan efektif oleh MAPTB.Another year has quickly passed us by since the publication of the last MAPTB Newsletter. Sincethen, the Federal MAPTB together with its state affi liates had continued on its various programmesin TB advocacy and awareness campaigns (some of which has been listed in this newsletter).MAPTB has continued its social responsibility of helping to channel fi nancial assistance, throughthe Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS), to the poor TB patients. New initiatives, such as TB essaycompetition and the production of ‘Encik Tuber’ educational pamphlets, have been implemented toincrease TB awareness among the younger population.Unfortunately, TB has registered a slow increasing presence in the country with about 18,000 casesnotifi ed in 2009. Infact, TB control appears to be the only Millennium Development Goal (MDG) targetthat Malaysia will have diffi culty achieving by the year 2015. To meet this challenge, the Ministry ofHealth will be launching the National Strategic Plan for TB Control in Malaysia this year. It is envisagedthat this strategic plan will include effective partnerships between the government, Non GovernmentalOrganizations (such as the MAPTB) and the private sector. The MAPTB looks forward to playing a keyactive role in ensuring the success of this national strategic plan.Lastly, it is hoped that the future funding arrangements between the Ministry of Health and the MAPTBin the national TB control programme can be effectively agreed between all parties concerned to ensurethat TB education and advocacy measures can continue to be effectively implemented by MAPTB.03

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENTY. Bhg. Dato Seri Yeop Jr. b. Hj. Yeop Adlan,SPMP, DPMP, PJN, PMP, PJK, JP.President of The Malaysian Association ForThe Prevention of TuberculosisKepada semua pembaca Selamat Menyambut Tahun 2011Tahun 2010 tidak begitu mengembirakan MAPTB dan ahli gabungannya kerana Persatuanmenghadapi kekurangan dana kerana lewat menerima bantuan geran daripada KementerianKesihatan Malaysia. Saya amat terkejut dan dukacita kerana tiada geran bagi 2010 di peruntukan olehKementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. MAPTB adalah sebuah pertubuhan NGO yang berusia lebih 60tahun ditubuhkan dalam tahun 1948 yang begitu aktif dalam membantu kebajikan pesakit Tibi dantanggungannya diseluruh negara bagi mencegah Tibi merebak dan juga membasmi Tibi di Malaysia.Dengan ketiadaan geran bantuan daripada Kementerian Kesihatan, MAPTB tiada pilihan melainkanmenggunakan rezab tabungan persatuan sendiri untuk membantu pesakit yang miskin yang memerlukanbantuan dan juga menjalankan kempen kesedaran diseluruh negara disamping mengekalkanpembelanjaan pengurusan pejabat. Sejak penubuhannya MAPTB telah menerima geran daripadaKementerian Kebajikan Masyarakat sehingga 1998. Dalam tahun 1999 MAPTB diletak dibawahKementerian Kesihatan Malaysia atas arahan Jabatan Perdana Menteri kerana penyakit Tibi diklasifikasikan sebagai isu kesihatan.Tahun 2011sekali lagi MAPTB berasa amat sedih kerana telah menerima geran amat berkurangan yangmana tidak mencukupi untuk menjalankan aktiviti. Sementara itu, kami sedang berusaha keras merayukepada Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia untuk mengkaji dan menambah geran kepada persatuankerana pihak persatuan ingin terus membantu pesakit Tibi yang miskin yang memerlukan bantuan sertameneruskan aktiviti program kesedaran Tibi.Buat masa ini, kami telah berhenti sementara peranan tradisi kami dalam menyalurkan dana untukpesakit Tibi yang memerlukan sehingga Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia dapat menyelesaikan bayarankepada MAPTB. Di atas kerja keras ahli-ahli MAPTB Ibu pejabat dan gabungan nya. Saya berharapdengan keluarnya berita MAPTB akan mendorong pembaca tampil memberi sumbangan dan bersamasamamemerangi penyakit Tibi. Saya yakin sumbangan anda amat berharga dan bermanafaat.First of all, Welcome to the year 2011 to all our reader.The year 2010 was certainly not a good year for MAPTB and its state associations to cheer aswe were facing fi nancial constraints due to delay in receiving the grant from Ministry of Health.I am indeed greatly disappointed and sad to say that in 2010 there was no grant given by Ministry ofHealth to MAPTB, an NGO formed more 60 years ago in 1948 that had been actively involved in therole of looking after the welfare of TB Patients and their dependants in all the States in Malaysia and toprevent the spread of TB and if possible to eradicate TB completely from Malaysia. The adverse fi nancialsituation gave MAPTB no choice but to use its reserve fund to pay the fi nancial assistance to needy TBpatients in the states of Malaysia and carrying out the public advocacy projects nation wide, at the sametime maintaining the operational costs of all the offi ces.04Since its inception, MAPTB had received grant regularly from the Ministry of Welfare Services until 1998.In 1999, MAPTB comes under the purview of Ministry of Health on the directive of the Prime Minister’sDepartment as TB was considered to be a health issue. It is also sad to note that in 2011, the grantgiven to MAPTB from Ministry of Health had been reduced very drastically. The quantum of grant givento MAPTB is certainly not enough for us to continue carrying out our activities. In the meantime, we aremaking great efforts to appeal to the Ministry of Health to re-instate the grant to us because we deeplywish to continue to help the unfortunate people in our society. In 2011, we have stopped temporarily ourtraditional role in disbursing funds to needy TB patients until the appeal on the annual fi nancial allocationto the Ministry of Health is resolved.Besides the continuation of the good work of the members of MAPTB Federal and its State Affi liates,I hope this newsletter will encourage readers to come forward to contribute and join us in the fi ghtagainst TB. I am confi dent your contribution will be most rewarding.

MESSAGE FROMTHE HONORARY SECRETARY GENERALTuan Hj. Sahul Hamid bin Hj. A. Karim,JSM, KMN, PPN, PISHonorary Secretary General of The Malaysian AssociationFor The Prevention of TuberculosisPertama saya ingin mengucapkan tahniah kepada sidang Pengarang di atas inisiatif merekamemberi lebih banyak informasi kepada pembaca.MAPTB Federal serta Persatuan gabungan terutama Sarawak telah mengambil lebih inisiatif melaksanakanprojek advokasi bagi memberi kesedaran terutama kepada akar umbi mengenai Tibi.Kini telah tiba masanya bagi kita memandang jauh keberkesanan persatuan kerana Kementerian Kesihatantelah memberi geran yang amat sedikit bagi tahun 2011 bagi kita meneruskan pembayaran Skim ElaunRawatan Tibi serta menjalankan aktiviti kesedaran.Kami amat berbangga di atas sokongan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia selama ini kecuali pada tahun2010 tiada peruntukan geran diberi kepada Persatuan. Walaubagaimanapun kami berharap dapat menjalinhubungan yang baik serta terus bekerjasama dengan Kementerian kesihatan pada masa hadapan denganprojek-projek dengan Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri masing-masing dalam menjayakan projek advokasi terutama yangjangka panjang. Adalah diharapkan bahawa persatuan gabungan akan tampil bekerjasamamelibatkan program-program Kesedaran Tibi, Pengesanan awal TB, menyediakan kaunseling untuk pesakitTB dan memberi bantuan kewangan kepada pesakit Tibi yang memerlukan.Kerajaan dibawah pimpinan Yang Amat Berhormat Perdana Menteri Malaysia Y. B. Datuk Seri Mohd Najib b.Tun Hj. Abd Razak amat serius dalam menangani masalah kemiskinan dalam negara. Kita harus membanturakyat yang miskin memperbaiki taraf hidup dalam bidang sosial dan ekonomi.MAPTB berharap benar dapat membantu kerajaan dalam menangani masalah kesihatan danmenghapuskan Tibi dengan mengadakan aktiviti anti-tibi kepada masyarakat.Slogan “ 1 Malaysia - Rakyat Didahulukan, Pencapaian Diutamakan.First and foremost, I take great pride to congratulate the Editorial Committee of this newsletter fortheir efforts to make more informative for the readers.MAPTB Federal and its state associations especially Sarawak had taken greater initiatives toembark on more advocacy projects to create TB awareness to reach the grassroots levels.It is timely that we look into long term viability of our Association as the Ministry of Health has given usa very much reduced grant in 2011 to continue implementing the TB Treatment Allowance Scheme andadvocacy projects.We are proud to be supported by the Ministry of Health since the last decade except in 2010 where nogrant was released to the Association. However, we still look forward to continue to work closely withthe Ministry in future long term projects. It is hoped that all state associations will come forward tocollaborate with the state health departments in coming events especially involving programs creatingTB awareness, early detection of TB, support groups in providing counseling for TB patients and paymentof fi nancial aids toTB patients.The Government under the leadership of the Honorable Prime Minister, YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib Bin TunHaji Abdul Razakis very serious in its efforts to address the poverty issue in the country. There is moreemphasis that weshould help the unfortunate people in term of social and economic problems to en-hance the qualityof their living standards. MAPTB wishes very much to assist the Government to delivera healthy living envoironment in eliminating TB by carrying out its anti-TB activities for the community.“1 Malaysia” People First, Performance Now.05

Tuberculosis:Dari Kaca Mata PelajarNur Fatin Syaffiqah,Pemenang PertamaWORLB TB DAYESSAY COMPETITION IN KEDAHPERADUAN MENGARANGAN SEMPENAHARI TIBI SEDUNIA 2010 DI KEDAHMutahir ini, dunia digemparkan oleh pelbagaijenis penyakit yang berbahaya dan berjangkitdalam kalangan masyarakat. Perkara ini sangatmembimbangkan semua pihak tidak kira samaada golongan kaya, miskin, tua atau muda. Penyakit ini akanmenyerang sesiapa sahaja tanpa mengira darjat, warna kulitdan pangkat seseorang itu. Penyakit yang akan saya kongsidan kupaskan ini merupakan antara penyakit yang perlu diberiperhatian dan ditangani segera iaitu “Tuberculosis” atau lebihdikenali sebagai penyakit Tibi dan atau batuk kering. Sayaingin kongsikan satu fakta disini bahawa dinyatakan penyakitTibi berada di tangga ketujuh mengikut turutan penyakitberjangkit dunia dan ia tidak pernah berubah sejak tahun1990. Berita ini pasti menggemparkan banyak pihak danpenyelesaiannya ialah semua pihak perlulah bergandingbahu untuk sama-sama membasmi penyakit berjangkit inidaripada terus menular di Malaysia khasnya.Apakah penyakit Tibi ini dari kaca mata saya sebagai seorangpelajar? Berdasarkan maklumat yang saya perolehi daripadalaman web Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia, penyakit Tibi ialahsejenis penyakit berjangkit yang disebabkan oleh kuman.“Mycobacterium Tuberculosis” kuman Tibi. Kebanyakan individuyang dijangkiti tidak akan mendapat penyakit Tibi keranakuman-kuman Tibi akan terpendam dan tidak aktif didalambadan seseorang. Namun begitu, sekiranya sistempertahanan badan seseorang itu menurun, Tibi akan menjadiaktif, seterusnya menjadikan seseorang itu menghidap penyakitTibi. Jangkitan “Bacterium Mycobacterium Tuberculosis” inibiasanya menyerang paru-paru (TB pulmonari), selain mampumenyerang sistem saraf tunjang (meningitis), sistem limfatik,sistem peredaran atau “circulatory system” (TB miliari), sistemgenitourinari, tulang, sendi dan lain-lain.Umum mengetahui penyakit Tibi ini berjangkit melalui cecairmulut dan hidung yang mengandungi kuman Tibi apabilapesakit Tibi batuk, bercakap atau bersin. Sesiapa yangmenyedut udara yang mengandungi cecair ini akan menghadapirisiko dijangkiti kuman. Akan tetapi terdapat segelintir pesakitini tidak mempunyai kuman Tibi dalam cecair mulut danhidung mereka. Oleh itu, pesakit-pesakit ini tidak akanmenjangkiti kuman Tibi kepada orang sekeliling mereka. Melaluikajian yang telah dibuat mengenai penyakit ini, terdapat limagolongan masyarakat yang berisiko tinggi bagi mendapatpenyakit Tibi. Antaranya ialah penduduk yang mempunyaistatus kehidupan yang kurang dari segi makanan, perubatan,kesihatan dan social seterusnya, pesakit yang mengidappenyakit AIDS atau mempunyai daya tahan badan yang lemah.Selain itu, pesakit yang menghidap penyakit kronik sepertikencing manis, asma, “COPD” (Penyakit lelah), penyakit kanserdan lain-lain turut berisiko mendapat penyakit ini. Berikutnyaialah pesakit yang memakan ubat steroid dalam jangka waktuyang lama turut tersenarai ialah warga emas. Seterusnya, sayaPengerusi MAPTB Kedah, Dr. Hj. Mohd Yacob menyampaikanhadiah kepada pelajar Nur Fatin Syaffi qah dari SekolahMenengah Kebangsaan Agama Kedah, Lebuhraya SultanahBahiyah Alor Setar.(MAPTB Kedah, Chairman, Dr. Hj. Mohd Yacob presentingprize to student Nur Fatin Syaffi qah from Sekolah MenengahKebangsaan Agama Kedah, Lebuhraya Sultanah BahiyahAlor Setar)yakin pasti ada masyarakat yang ingin mengetahui bahagianbadan yang boleh diserang oleh kuman Tibi ini. Melaluimaklumat yang diperolehi, kuman Tibi biasanya menyerangbahagian paru-paru. Walaubagaimanapun, kuman Tibi bolehmerebak dimana-mana bahagian tubuh badan melalui alirandarah didalam badan seseorang.Setiap penyakit yang menyerang pasti ada penawardan ubatnya. Namun dalam konteks penyakit Tibi yangdibincangkan ini, penentuan bilakah penyakit ini dapatdihapuskan di Malaysia agak sukar diramal memandangkanbanyak faktor yang menyumbang dan kadar pertambahanpesakit Tibi ini terus meningkat dari tahun ke-tahun. Faktoryang dikenal pasti menyumbang kepada kemunculan semulapenyakit ini ialah pendatang asing yang datang secara haramke negara ini tidak disaring daripada penyakit ini. Sepertiyang dapat dilihat sekarang. Malaysia mempunyai lambakanpendatang asing yang datang memerah keringat untukmencari sesuap nasi atau sumber rezeki kepada keperluanmereka. Justeru, tidak hairanlah peratusan penyakit Tibi yangmenyerang meningkat disebabkan oleh pendatang asing.Disamping itu, pesakit lambat atau tidak mendapatkan rawatankerana kurangnya kesedaran mengenai penyakit ini. Untukmenangani permasalahan, Kementerian Kesihatan khususnyabahagian kawalan penyakit berjangkit sentiasa berusahasecara intensif untuk menghapuskan penyakit ini daripadaterus merebak dalam kalangan masyarakat kita.Melalui pemerhatian yang saya buat, kesedaran masyarakatMalaysia masih berada pada tahap yang rendah apabila dilihatmasih ramai yang kurang mengambil berat perihal kesihatanmereka. Sepatutnya, masyarakat mengambil tahu perihalpenyakit yang mendominasi penyakit yang menyerangmasyarakat kita. Mengenai isu penyakit Tibi ini, masyarakatboleh mengesan seseorang itu mengalami penyakit Tibi melaluisimpton-simpton awal seperti batuk yang berpanjanganmelebihi dua minggu berlaku dan berlanjutan. Sekiranyaseseorang pesakit itu tidak dapat mendapatkan rawatan,kesihatan akan menjadi lebih teruk. Individu itu akanmengalami batuk berdarah, demam berpeluh terutama padawaktu petang atau malam serta kurang selera makan.Implikasinya, berat badan mereka akan menurun. Pesakit jugaakan turut berasa mudah letih dan lemah badan sekiranyapenyakit ini menimpa mereka.Seiring dengan perkembangan sains dan teknologi, kaedahdan rawatan bahagian perubatan turut berkembang pesat.Begitu juga fenomena berkaitan penyakit Tibi ini apabila ahliperubatan menemui banyak rawatan penyakit Tibi ini. Terdapatempat jenis ubat khas yang sering digunakan untukmerawat penyakit Tibi. Ubat-ubat itu ialah Rifampicin,Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide dan Ethambutol. Rawatan untukpenyakit ini biasanya mengambil masa sekurang-kurangnyaenam bulan. Pada dua bulan pertama, pesakit diberi rawatanrapi dengan memakan ubat setiap hari. Pada empatbulan seterusnya, ia dikehendaki memakan ubat tigakali seminggu. Kebanyakan pesakit Tibi dapat meneruskanaktiviti harian seperti biasa selepas dua hingga empat minggudiberi rawatan. Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) mendapatiimunisasi BCG yang diberikan kepada bayi yang baru lahirtidak memberi perlindungan sepenuhnya terhadap jangkitanbatuk kering atau Tibi. Imunisasi BCG hanya melindungikanak-kanak meningkat dewasa, namun risiko jangkitan Tibiadalah sama dengan orang dewasa lain yang tidak mendapatimunisasi BCG. Oleh itu, disini telah jelas dinyatakan bahawasuntikan BCG bukanlah jaminan untuk tidak menyerang kita,tetapi kita harus berusaha mencari jalan untuk mengelakdaripada terkena penyakit berjangkit ini.Pepatah Melayu ada mengatakan sediakan payungsebelum hujan. Oleh itu, langkah-langkah pencegahanperlulah diambil dan dilakukan untuk mencegah penyakitTibi ini daripada merebak. Antaranya ialah, suntikanBCG perlu diberikan kepada bayi yang lahir. Hal ini bagimengelak berlakunya penyakit Tibi dalam kalangankanak-kanak seseorang individu yang mengalami batukyang berpanjangan melebihi dua minggu perlulah segeraberjumpa doktor untuk mendapatkan pemeriksaan lanjut.Masyarakat perlulah mengelak daripada berada ditempatyang sesak, Mereka juga perlu memastikan kediaman dantempat kerja dimasuki cahaya matahari. Tempat kediamandan tempat kerja juga penting dalam mempunyai penukaranudara yang baik. Selain itu juga, perkara yang penting yangperlu menjadi budaya masyarakat kita iaitu pengalamancara hidup sihat seperti makan makanan yang seimbang,bersenam, berhenti merokok dan sebagainya. Bukan itusahaja, masyarakat boleh mempraktikkan penggunaan penutupmulut untuk mengurangkan risiko jangkitan kuman Tibi.Dengan adanya langkah-langkah awal pencegahan penyakitini, risiko untuk penyakit ini menyerang kita menjadi tipis.Hari Tibi Sedunia 2010 diadakan pada 25hb Mac 2010 di Lobi Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah Alor Setar dengan peraduanmengarang mengenai Tibi untuk pelajar pelajar dari sekolah sekolah menengah di Daerah Kota Setar anjuran bersama JabatanPerubatan Respiratori dan MAPTB Kedah.(World TB Day 2010 was held on 25th March 2010 at the Lobby of Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah Alor Setar with an essaycompetition on tuberculosis participated by the secondary students in Kota Setar districts, the event was jointly organized byJabatan Perubatan Respiratori dan MAPTB Kedah)Kesimpulannya, saya sebagai seorang pelajar menggangappenyakit Tibi ini boleh dielak dan diatasi sekiranya langkahlangkahawal pencegahan diambil dan amalan hidup yangsihat menjadi teras dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Dengancara ini, saya yakin penyakit ini tidak akan dapat menyerangkita dengan mudah. Peribahasa melayu, ‘mencegah lebih baikdaripada mengubati’ perlu menjadi pegangan kepada setiapdiri individu dan di-aplikasikan dalam kehidupan seharianmelalui gaya hidup yang sihat. Hasrat kerajaan untukmelahirkan rakyat yang sihat akan tercapai sekiranya semuapihak bergandingan bahu dan memberikan kerjasama dankomitmen yang jitu.07
