EDITOR’S NOTE

Dr. B. Venugopalan Medical Director Malaysian Association For The Prevention of Tuberculosis (MAPTB)
The 2010 World TB Day slogan “On the Move against Tuberculosis- Innovate to Accelerate Action” underlines the on-going challenge of customizing the TB control programme to the population demands. Innovation cuts
through many areas of TB concern including better TB drugs, newer diagnostic tools, forming new partnerships and sustained funding of the control programme.
The MAPTB is also in the process of shifting its role in the national TB control programme. Apart from its traditional role in disbursing funds to needy TB patients through the Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS), the organization is also embarking on new approaches to TB advocacy in the community such as engaging the mass media (e.g. radio and TV talks) and co-organizing conferences such as the recently concluded ‘TB & Lung Disease Symposium 2010’ which was co-organized by MAPTB Penang and the Hospital Pulau Pinang in March 2010.
The Ministry of Health is currently in the � nal stages of formulation of the National TB Strategic Plan 2010-2015 and it will include the important role of NGOs such as the MAPTB in ensuring the success of the national TB control programme. The MAPTB is committed to assisting the MOH in achieving the targets of the National TB Strategic Plan and looks forward to working closely in areas such as public advocacy, early case detection and effective treatment compliance.
Slogan bagi Hari Tibi Sedunia 2010 “On the Move Against Tuberculosis – Innovate to Accelerate Action” mengariskan cabaran masa kini dalam menyeragamkan program kawalan Tibi berpandukan kehendak
penduduk. Berbagai pembaharuan telah dibuat termasuk mengadakan ubat-ubatan yang berkesan, cara menetapkan sifat penyakit, menubuhkan rakan kongsi dan meneruskan pembiayaan program kawalan.
MAPTB juga sedang dalam proses mengalih peranan dalam program mengawal Tibi bagi peringkat Nasional. Selain daripada peranan tradisi iaitu memberi sumbangan wang kepada pesakit yang miskin melalui TAS, MAPTB juga sedang merancang menggunakan media massa (iaitu radio dan wawancara TV) dan bersama menganjurkan konferen sapertimana yang telah dilaksanakan simposium Tibi dan penyakit paru-paru 2010 yang telah dianjurkan bersama oleh MAPTB Penang dan Hospital Pulau Pinang pada Mac 2010.
Kementerian Kesihatan sekarang ini dalam peringkat terakhir merumuskan Pelan Strategi Tibi National 2010 – 2015 dan ini akan memasukkan peranan penting NGO saperti MAPTB bagi memastikan berjayanya program tersebut.
MAPTB juga telah bersetuju memberi komitmen membantu Kementerian mencapai target dalam Pelan Strategik Tibi dan bersedia bekerja rapat dalam “public advocacy”, pengesahan awal penyakit dan rawatan yang efektif.

RESPIRATORI (IPR) PADA 27 MAC 2009
Y. Bhg Datin Dr. Hajah Aziah Ahmad MahayiddinPengarah Institut Perubatan Respiratori
Para Jemputan dan Tuan/Puan yang dihormati sekalian.
Assalamualaikum warahmatullah hibarakatuh dan salam sejahtera.
Pertama sekali saya ingin mengambil kesempatan disini untuk mengucapkan terima kasih kepada pihak penganjur yang telah menjemput saya hadir dalam majlis ini, menyampaikan ucapan dan seterusnya menyempurnakan perasmian sambutan Hari Tibi Sedunia 2009, peringkat Institut Perubatan Respiratori (IPR) yang diadakan pada pagi ini.
Sukacita saya maklumkan disini, sasaran untuk mengawal penyakit Tibi dan juga penyakit malaria dan HIV secara global telah digubal berdasarkan Millenium Development Goal (MDG) oleh United Nation (UN) atau Persatuan Bangsa-Bangsa Bersatu pada tahun 2000. Dibawah MDG tersebut, UN telah menetapkan insiden penyakit Tibi hendaklah dihentikan dan dikurangkan menjelang tahun 2010. Selain dari itu, Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) dibawah ‘Regional Goal’ telah menambah 2 lagi sasaran iaitu untuk mengurangkan kadar prevalen dan kadar kematian kepada separuh daripada tahun 2000 hingga 2010.
Melihat kepada pencapaian Program Kawalan Penyakit Tibi untuk Malaysia pada tahun 2008, kadar insiden adalah 63.1 kes untuk 100,000 penduduk dan jauh dari mencapai sasaran yang telah ditetapkan pada tahun 2008 iaitu 47.5 kes untuk 100,000 penduduk.
Walaubagaimanapun, jika dilihat sasaran yang telah ditetapkan mengikut WHO Regional Goal, dimana sasaran mendapatkan sekurang-kurangnya 70% sputum positif pesakit Tibi dikesan dan dirawat dengan DOTS serta menyembuhkan sekurang-kurangnya 85% kes yang telah dikesan telah berjaya dicapai.
Datin/Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan,
Dalam Program Kawalan Tibi, masih banyak perkara yang boleh diperbaiki. Institut Perubatan Respiratori hendaklah terus memainkan peranan sebagai pusat kecemerlangan dalam rawatan pesakit Tibi. IPR terus menjadi contoh dalam mengekalkan ‘standard’ dalam rawatan pesakit Tibi. Perkara yang harus dititikberatkan oleh IPR adalan meningkatkan kesedaran pegawai perubatan disektor kerajaan dan swasta dalam pengesanan kes-kes Tibi pada peringkat awal dan memastikan mereka merawat pesakit dengan sempurna supaya dapat mengelakkan berlakunya kes ‘drug resistance’. Usaha untuk mencapai sasaran MDG dan WHO Regional Goal harus ditingkatkan sehingga boleh mencapai kadar sembuh kepada 95%.
Peranan Institut Perubatan Respiratori (IPR) menganjurkan kursus kepada pegawai perubatan dan paramedic tentang penyakit Tibi amat dihargai. IPR telah menganjurkan kursus untuk paramedik yang telah berlangsung awal minggu ini dan seterusnya kursus untuk pegawai perubatan yang akan diadakan esok. Kursus-kursus ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan pegawai kesihatan serta memastikan mereka terus komited dalam membantu mengawal penularan penyakit Tibi. Kursus yang telah dianjurkan kepada pegawai yang bekerja disektor swasta pula dapat membantu Kementerian Kesihatan dalam meningkatkan penglibatan mereka dalam rawatan Tibi bagi menerapkan konsep kerjasama antara pihak swasta dan kerajaan (Private Public Mix).
Pihak IPR disarankan terus membantu Pusat Rawatan 1 (PR1) dan pengamal perubatan yang berkhidmat di klinik swasta. Ini adalah kerana kadar pengesanan di klinik-klinik primer dan klinik-kinik swasta masih lagi rendah iaitu 14% daripada keseluruhan kes Tibi dinoti� ikasi di Malaysia. Tetapi hal ini berbeza di Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor kerana lebih ramai pesakit mendapatkan rawatan di klinik-klinik swasta.
Pihak kami juga maklum tentang beban bilangan pesakit warga asing yang menerima rawatan di IPR. Hal ini menyukarkan pengurusan rawatan pesakit Tibi kerana berlakunya kes ‘defaulter’, sukar untuk melakukan ‘contact tracing’, ketidakpatuhan mereka kepada rawatan, kes drug resistance dan juga isu sosial yang sukar dibendung.

Datin/Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan,
Dengan kepakaran yang diperolehi pihak IPR, kerjasama dengan pihak Kementerian adalah amat dialukan terutama dalam rancangan untuk menambahbaik garis panduan ‘Guideline for the Management of Tuberculosis’ yang kali terakhirnya diubahsuai pada tahun 2002. Penambahbaikan garis panduan ini perlu untuk mengambil kira isu-isu semasa seperti ‘multi-drug resistance’ rawatan pesakit TB-HIV dan rawatan untuk pesakit yang mempunyai ‘Latent TB Infection’.
Kerjasama pihak IPR bersama dengan persatuan bukan kerajaan seperti MAPTB perlu dicontohi oleh Institusi Perubatan yang lain. Pesakit Tibi yang memerlukan bantuan kewangan dapat bersua dengan wakil MAPTB yang hadir sewaktu Klinik Tibi beroperasi. Semoga kerjasama ini diteruskan dan ditingkatkan daripada masa ke semasa.
Untuk makluman, pihak Kementerian Kesihatan telah merangka “National Strategic Plan To Stop TB For Malaysia 2009 – 2015’ dan telah meminta kerjasama IPR dalam mengukuhkan pelan ini. Dalam Pelan Strategi Tibi Kebangsaan ini empat (4) strategic utama telah dikenalpasti iaitu:
i. Memperkukuhkan aktiviti survelan dan pemantauan buat penyakit Tibi.
ii. Memperkukuhkan dan mempertingkatkan cara pengesanan kes dan mencapai sasaran melebihi 80%
iii. Memantapkan cara rawatan penyakit Tibi dan mencapai kadar sembuh melebihi 85% serta mencegah kewujudan kes rentanan ubat dan
iv. Memperkukuhkan cara pencegahan kes terutama dikalangan pesakit yang berisiko tinggi.
Saya mampu menghentikan Tibi (I am stopping TB) adalah tema yang dipilih untuk sambutan tahun ini. Tema ini bertujuan untuk memperkasa (empower) semua orang untuk memainkan peranan mereka dalam menghentikan jangkitan Tibi. Tema ini dapat difahami dengan lebih jelas melalui penelitian peranan yang boleh dimainkan oleh golongan tertentu dalam masyarakat:
i. Pesakit-pesakit boleh memainkan peranan yang aktif dalam regime rawatan mereka dengan mengambil semua ubat yang telah ditetapkan dengan betul.
ii. Anggota kesihatan boleh menghentikan Tibi dengan sentiasa berwaspada akan tanda-tanda penyakit ini, segera menjalankan diagnosis dan cepat memberi rawatan.
iii. Guru-guru di sekolah boleh memberi penerangan kepada murid-murid mereka mengenai penyakit Tibi dan cara-cara mencegahnya.
iv. Anggota masyarakat pula boleh menghentikan Tibi melalui perkongsian maklumat untuk mencegah penyakit ini dan membantu orang yang memerlukan rawatan.
v. Para saintis boleh menjalankan kajian untuk membangunkan peralatan dianostik, ubat-ubatan dan vaksin baru untuk menghenti Tibi.
Sebelum saya mengakhiri ucapan dan merasmikan majlis sambutan Hari Tibi Sedunia Peringkat IPR pada pagi ini, saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih di atas peranan IPR sebagai penasihat teknikal dalam Program Kawalan Tibi serta kerjasama yang erat dengan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia. Sekali lagi saya ingin mengucapkan setinggi-tinggi tahniah kepada semua pihak yang terlibat secara langsung menjayakan sambutan ini. Saya berharap tuan-tuan dan puan-puan akan terus memberi sumbangan bakti dalam usaha nembanteraskan penyakit Tibi di Malaysia.
Dengan sukacitanya saya merasmikan sambutan Hari Tibi Sedunia Tahun 2009 Peringkat IPR.
Sekian, terima kasih.

25 July 2009MAPTB Annual General Meeting 2009 was held on 25 July 2009 at Quality Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. At the same, a 3 days Workshop on TB TAS was organized from 24 July to 25 July 2009 at the same place to reviw the implementation of MAPTB TB Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS). The MAPTB had been the forerunners in the TB control programme in Malaysia during the 1950’s before the National TB Control Programme was established by the Ministry of Health in 1961. In the early years, MAPTB was given license to run the Social Welfare Lottery, the returns of which were used to fund the various activities of the association. Later, this license was withdrawn and government funding was obtained through the Ministry of Social Welfare. Since 1999, funding for the MAPTB related activities were channeled through the Ministry of Health. Currently, the main activities of the MAPTB are directed to TB patient treatment allowance scheme (TAS) and TB advocacy activities in the community and related health staff. The TAS was designed to � nancially assist poor TB patients to improve TB treatment compliance and to alleviate some of the expenses related to TB treatment such as bus fare for supervised treatment at government clinics. The last of� cial review of the TAS was done on 10th October 1964.
In view of this situation, MAPTB had decided to organize a workshop on TAS with the following objectives: 1. To establish a standardized criteria for TAS disbursement.2. To establish an evaluation system for the impact of TAS on TB treatment.3. To standardize the mechanism for TAS budgeting & disbursement and to explore additional funding sources for TAS funding.
A total of 37 delegates from 15 state af� liates attended the 3-day workshop from 24-26/7/2009 in Quality Hotel, Kuala Lumpur. These delegates were divided into 3 groups to discuss on the objectives outlined above.

Mesyuarat Agung bagi tahun 2009 telah diadakan pada 25 Julai 2009 bertempat di Hotel Quality, Kuala Lumpur. Sempena Mesyuarat Agung tersebut satu bengkel telah diadakan pada 24 Julai ditempat yang sama bagi mengkaji semula Implimentasi Elaun Rawatan Tibi (TAS). MAPTB telah menjalankan program Kawalan Tibi di Malaysia semenjak tahun 1950 sebelum Program Kawalan Tibi Kebangsaan yang di istiharkan oleh Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia dalam tahun 1961. Dalam tahun sebelumnya, MAPTB telah diberi lesen bagi menjalankan Loteri Kebajikan Sosial, yang mana dana tersebut telah diagihkan kepada persatuan negeri-negeri bagi menjalankan aktiviti-aktiviti. Kemudian lesen berkenaan telah ditarikbalik dan diganti dengan peruntukan geran kerajaan yang diberi melalui Kementerian Kebajikan Sosial. Mulai tahun 1999, peruntukan untuk MAPTB telah disalurkan melalui Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia untuk menjalankan aktiviti. Aktiviti Persatuan masa kini ialah memberi bantuan kewangan ke-pada pesakit Tibi yang layak serta tanggungannya, TAS ini adalah untuk membantu pesakit-pesakit Tibi yang tidak berkemampuan mendapat rawatan yang sempurna dan mempastikan kesemua sumber jangkitan yang dikesan akan terus mengambil rawatan sehingga sembuh. Kajian terakhir program TAS Skim Elaun Rawatan Tibi ialah pada 10 Oktober 1964.
Dalam situasi tersebut, MAPTB telah bersetuju menganjurkan bengkel mengenai Implimentasi Skim Elaun Rawatan (TAS) dengan objektif berikut:-1. Menentukan kriteria pembayaran Skim Elaun Rawatan Tibi.2. Menentukan “evolution” sistem dan impak Skim Elaun Rawatan Tibi dalam rawatan Tibi.3. Menyeragamkan “mechanisem” untuk bajet TAS dan pengagihan serta mencari dana tambahan bagi menampung kewangan Skim Elaun Rawatan Tibi.
Seramai 37 delegasi dari 15 gabungan Negeri-negeri menghadiri 3 hari bengkel dari 24 hingga 27 Julai 2009 di Hotel Quality, Kuala Lumpur. Delegasi telah dibahagi kepada 3 kumpulan membincangkan objektif-objektif di atas.

Dear colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to attend the 41st Union World Conference on Lung Health to be hosted at the International Congress Centre in Berlin, Germany, on 11-15 November 2010.
This conference will be very special as it will celebrate the 90th birthday of The Union and marks the 100th anniversary of the death of Robert Koch who was the � rst person to isolate the tuberculosis bacillus in 1882 and subsequently awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his tuberculosis � ndings in 1905.
The city of Berlin has undergone enormous changes over the last two decades. Its new, modern and innovative architecture is well-integrated into the revitalized capital city. The theme of the World Conference will greatly bene� t from the modern and dynamic spirit of the setting and motivate conference participants to discuss the real progress made in the development of new diagnostics, anti TB drugs and vaccines along with the further advances in HIV care, Lung Health and tobacco control.
Scienti� c sessions selected for this year’s programme intend to highlight innovation in TB, HIV and lung health, setting a course for future health solutions. As a link from the past to present, and the central role of research, the theme of the conference is “Tuberculosis, HIV and lung health: from research and innovation to solutions”.
The 41st Union World Conference will also provide us all with the opportunity to demonstrate continued commitment to the Year of the Lung, which was launched on Sunday, 6 December 2009, at the 40th Union World Conference in Cancun, Mexico. This campaign, organised by the Forum of International Respiratory Societies (FIRS), seeks to raise awareness that hundreds of millions of people around the world suffer each year from treatable and preventable respiratory diseases.
It is our great honour to invite you to join us to discuss debate and network during this unparalleled gathering in Berlin.
Yours sincerely,
Dr Nils E BILLO, MD, MPHExecutive Director

In Memory Of THE LATE P.C. BALACHANDRAN, PPT, AMP.
- 43 -
his 48 years of association – a record hard to beat.
Bala became a member of MAPTB Perak from 1960. He was a member of the Administrative Committee 1962-1979; Hon. Secretary/Treasurer 1979-1988. Bala became the � rst members of MAPTB (Manjung), Secretary 1962-1988; Chairman 1988-2000; Vice President (1) 2000-2009 (Jan).
During his term of of� ce he was actively involved in the cost-effective creation of TB awareness through many seminars and workshop for various target groups (e.g. Administrators, Medical and Paramedics, and Teachers) at the National, State and District levels.
He personally took part in the investigation and render-ing � nancial assistance to the needy patients (TAS), and also kept a close watch on DOTS. He was intelligent and broad-minded and readily accepted ideas from his colleagues and friends for the improvement of TB ser-vices. Hard work, honestly and integrity were principles he lived by.
In recognition of his contributions to the communities in Perak, he was bestowed PPT and AMP by the Sultan of Perak.
Not withstanding his failing health, he continued his valu-able services to MAPTB, punctuated only by his trips to India for medical treatment. In his trip to India in 2009, he � nally succumbed to pancreatic neoplastic growth and passed away peacefully on 31/01/2009.
We have lost a wonderful community leader and worker and a friend, whose presence always brought happiness and bene� cial events for MAPTB and Manjung communities.
Our heart-felt condolences to Visha, her family members and relatives. Peace of the Lord be with you all.

“REAL HAPPINESS IS HELPING OTHERS”. This is the favourite quotation of the late P.C. Balachandran who lived a full 84 years of life, practicing and living it.
P. C. Balachandran was born on 28th May 1925. He simply wanted to be known as “Bala”. After completed Senior Cambridge Certi� cate in King George V School, Seremban, he went to Singapore to attend Teachers’ Training College. On completion, he taught in Singapore Schools from 1950 to 1960.
His favourite sport was cricket and he used to play friendly interclub matches. It was on the cricket � eld that he met and fell in love with Vishalaskshi. Being a � lial son, he brought his sweetheart to India to show his parents and they were married in August 1956.
In 1960, Bala was offered a position as headmaster at Gandhi Memorial School, Sitiawan. As the headmaster he was well placed to serve the community. He moved his family from Singapore and plunged into serious work. He rose to the challenge and transformed a small humble private funded school to well known government aided school in 1980 when he retired. There are many who remember him as dedicated, conscientious and disciplined headmaster who set an example for the staff and students.
Apart from being a distinguished teacher and head-master, Bala also served meritoriously in many non-governmental organization (NGO’s). Bala was a charter member of Rotary Club, Sitiawan in 1961. True to his character he was totally committed to serve. He held many posts in the club, including being the President of the Club twice. He scored 100 % attendance record in
Other important community involvements of Bala included:
Peace Corp Food Distribution Center in the sixties.• Freemason at the Kinta Logde for more than 30 years.• Juvenile Court Advisor from 1974. Chairman of the Children’s Advisory • Committee 1982-1987.• Board Member Red Crescent Society Malaysia Manjung from 1979.• Board Member Handicap Center Manjung from 1988.• Board Member Manjung Sea Rescue Unit (PBSM Sub Diistrict) 1982.• Member of Rent Control Board, Manjung District from 1984.• Member of Licencing Board, Manjung District 1987-2002.• Member of Marriage Tribunal Manjung District since 1982.• Member of District Consumer Council from 1984.• Charter Member of the Perak Yatch Club.•
