Wanita Sarawak Mangsa Ke-73 Maut Akibat A (H1N1)
KUALA LUMPUR, 3 Sept (Bernama) -- Seorang wanita berumur 25 tahun dari Betong, Sarawak merupakan mangsa ke-73 jangkitan influenza A(H1N1) yang meninggal dunia pada Selasa lepas kerana "severe pneumonia" dengan jangkitan H1N1.
Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Tan Sri Dr Mohd Ismail Merican berkata wanita itu tanpa mempunyai faktor risiko telah dimasukkan ke Hospital Betong pada Ahad lepas kerana demam, batuk dan sakit tekak selama lima hari, dan dirujuk ke Hospital Sibu pada Isnin untuk mendapat rawatan lanjut dan rawatan antiviral.
Sebelum itu, beliau telah mendapat tiga rawatan sebagai pesakit luar di Hospital Betong, katanya dalam satu kenyataan di sini pada Khamis.
Dr Mohd Ismail berkata sementara jumlah pesakit baru dengan gejala penyakit serupa influenza (ILI) yang telah dimasukkan ke hospital untuk rawatan adalah seramai 266 orang, manakala pada masa yang sama 293 kes telah didiscaj.
Ini menjadikan baki seramai 1,211 pesakit ILI sedang dirawat di 110 buah hospital termasuk 11 hospital swasta di seluruh negara, dan daripada jumlah pesakit yang dirawat, hanya 230 pesakit (18.9 peratus) disahkan positif H1N1, katanya.
Dr Mohd Ismail berkata daripada 230 kes yang disahkan H1N1, 41 kes dirawat di unit rawatan rapi (ICU) dengan 31 kes (75.6 peratus) mempunyai faktor risiko, iaitu penyakit kronik (7), obesiti (10), kanak-kanak/bayi (8), post natal/hamil (2), penyakit jantung (1) dan asma (3).
Beliau berkata mereka yang mempunyai simptom seperti demam, batuk dan sakit tekak didapati masih mengunjungi tempat yang terdapat ramai orang, sama ada untuk membeli belah, hiburan dan keramaian.
"Mereka ini sepatutnya berehat di rumah dan sekiranya terpaksa juga keluar, mereka hendaklah memakai topeng muka bagi mencegah penularan jangkitan virus influenza ini," katanya.
Beliau berkata Kementerian Kesihatan mendapati masih ramai lagi orang awam yang tidak faham cara virus ini merebak, iaitu berjangkit daripada manusia kepada manusia melalui titisan cecair yang dikeluarkan semasa bercakap, batuk atau bersin.
" Sekiranya kita memahami cara virus ini merebak, maka lebih mudah untuk kita mengambil langkah pencegahan," katanya .

Kaji punca kematian pesakit H1N1
KADAR kematian pesakit H1N1 yang semakin meningkat di negara ini sememangnya membimbangkan semua pihak. Ini bertentangan dengan pandangan WHO dan pakar-pakar yang menjangkakan kadar kematian yang sepatutnya jauh lebih rendah. Kesan sebenarnya tidak lebih daripada seperti jangkitan selesema yang biasa (common flu) kecuali bagi pesakit-pesakit yang berisiko.
Persoalannya mengapakah perkara sedemikian terjadi? Pada pandangan saya ada beberapa faktor yang perlu kita kaji sebelum Kementerian Kesihatan terus mengumumkan kadar kematian disebabkan virus H1N1 yang semakin meningkat kerana ini akan menyebabkan masyarakat menjadi semakin cemas.
Apakah virus ini dari jenis yang mampu membunuh secara terus (direct cause of death) atau mungkinkah kematian yang dicatatkan selama ini secara kebetulan didapati positif di dalam badan mangsa. Dalam keadaan ini kemungkinan virus tersebut bukan punca kematian utama tetapi pesakit mati disebabkan punca-punca lain seperti serangan jantung, jangkitan kuman dalam darah dan lain-lain punca kematian yang lebih jelas.
Adalah tidak adil menganggap punca kematian seseorang pesakit disebabkan virus H1N1 walhal pesakit mempunyai pelbagai penyakit kronik yang lain yang mungkin penyebab utama kepada kematian beliau.
Dalam hal ini Kementerian Kesihatan perlu mengkaji dengan lebih teliti termasuk meminta pandangan daripada doktor-doktor pakar sebelum mengumumkan seseorang pesakit itu meninggal dunia disebabkan virus H1N1. Ini kerana kesan kepada keluarga, masyarakat dan negara amat mendalam.
Adalah amat malang apabila masyarakat menjadi cemas tanpa sebab dan tiada pengetahuan kerana tidak mendapat maklumat yang tepat mengenai virus ini

Sex and the clueless
2009/08/30
By Chai Mei Ling - NST Online
KUALA LUMPUR: Incredibly, half of all young Malaysians don’t know how babies are born.
A National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) survey had also found that two in five do not know where the foetus develops.
Half of those surveyed did not know what the male and female reproductive organs are.
The Malaysian population and family survey, which polled some 1,700 respondents between the ages of 13 and 24, revealed the depth of ignorance among the young in basic sexual and reproductive health.
Datuk Aminah Abdul Rahman, director-general of the National Population and Family Development Board, says it is time to address the lack of knowledge and awareness about sex.
The respondents were from all races and from urban and rural areas across the country.
Carried out by LPPKN every 10 years, the survey tested respondents on their knowledge on HIV/ AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, contraceptivesand reproductive organs.
What is of even greater concern is that young adults between 20 and 24 were less knowledgeable about “the facts of life” compared to those aged between 15 and 19.
The young adults scored slightly lower in their understanding and knowledge of sex organs compared to teenagers.
The survey also found that males have slightly less awareness
than females.
LPPKN director-general Datuk Aminah Abdul Rahman said it was high time this lack of knowledge and awareness was addressed.
“We cannot be like an ostrich with a buried head, denying it all the time.”
Universiti Malaya’s Professor Dr Low Wah Yun echoed the need to act fast, citing a different study on female adolescents, which also indicated low awareness.
A quarter of the respondents in the 2006 study said a woman could get pregnant by just sharing a bed with a man, while 13 per cent said they were not sure if a woman could get pregnant by sleeping next to a man.
When asked if one could get pregnant the first time she had sex, slightly more than 10 per cent said no, while a third had no idea.
More than 10 per cent of the girls also said that a woman would not get pregnant if she was not turned on during sex, while 47 per cent did not know the answer.
The study, called the National Survey on Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights of Women in Malaysia, had polled more than 2,000 female youths aged 15 to 24 years across nine states.
It was commissioned by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development Ministry, and carried out by researchers in Universiti Malaya.
Out of the 2,005 girls surveyed, slightly more than 100 admitted to being sexually active. Of that number, one-fifth said they had sex more than five times a week, and 57 per cent had sex two to four times a week.
Low, who was one of the researchers, said the implementation of sexuality and reproductive health education was crucial to arrest the increasing prevalence of HIV/AIDS cases, unwanted pregnancies and abortions among youth.
The topic of sex education has long been a subject of debate, and Malaysia came close to implementing it in 2006 after the Cabinet gave the nod. But it appears to have fallen by the wayside.
“Sex education does not mean we are giving the youngsters a licence to have sex. It is to arm them with proper knowledge and to teach them to practise healthy sexual behaviour, and to be responsible for their own actions.
“What does a boy do when he gets a girl pregnant? Leave the girl alone to fend for herself?
“No. He has to face the consequences of his actions.
“We must teach responsible sexual behaviour, more so in boys so that they respect girls and not see them as sex objects,” said Low, a psychologist.
A World Health Organisation study on 19 countries that have a system of sex education in place showed that sex education did not hasten sexual activities.
On the contrary, it delayed sexual activities and led to safer sex.
Associate Professor Dr Mary Huang from Universiti Putra Malaysia said the mean age of marriage among Malaysians was getting higher.
“This means young adults are getting exposed to more years where they can have premarital sex.”
This, coupled with the freedom that children and youth enjoyed today, and the sexual messages that they were bombarded with in the media, was a recipe for social disaster, she said.
“Children today are exposed to so many things they think is sex education, but it’s not. Pornography, for example, is a very perverted form of sex.
“Young people have to know what’s real and what’s not,” said Huang, the honorary secretary-general of the Federation of Reproductive Health Associations Malaysia.
Aminah said more focus should be placed on preventive measures instead of knee-jerk reactions to cases like abandoned babies.
“Too much funds have been allocated to fix problems instead of addressing them at the source.”
Low said: “We shouldn’t let our kids reach the stage where they have to seek abortions. We should prevent that from happening.
“Teach them abstinence but also arm them with knowledge about safe sex.”
Sex education: The story so far
• JANUARY 1991: The National Union of Teaching Profession disagreed with a suggestion to allow films and videotapes depicting sexual scenes to be used for educational purposes.
• SEPTEMBER 1992: The Cabinet Committee on AIDS proposed that sex education, with emphasis on AIDS prevention, be taught to Form Two pupils.
• OCTOBER 1992: The Education Ministry decided not to use the term “sex education” for the subject on sex as it can be misconstrued by the public. It would be known as “family health education” and taught to only secondary school students.
• DECEMBER 1994: Sex education would be introduced as a subject called “family life education” for pupils students from Forms Two to Five beginning the 1995/96 school term, said Deputy Education Minister Datuk Dr Fong Chan Onn.
• SEPTEMBER 1998: The proposal to include sex education in schools has been perceived negatively by some parents and groups in the society, said the Federation of Family Planning Associations.
• APRIL 2000: Sex education was taught in Penang under a pilot project involving Form 3 students pupils in 15 schools.
• DECEMBER 2003: Teachers would be given guidelines on how to approach subjects on sexuality
early next year, said the National Unity and Social Development Ministry.
• DECEMBER 2006: The Cabinet gave the green light to introduce sex education into the school syllabus at all levels, said the Ministry of Education.
• DECEMBER 2006: A sum of RM20 million had been allocated to provide training, campaigns and promotional materials for sex education, said Education Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.
• MARCH 2007: A plan to expand the scope of the sex education programme beyond students was holding back the roll-out of the guidelines.
• MAY 2008: Sex education and the danger of HIV and AIDS would be introduced under the National Service training programme starting October, said Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen.
• NOVEMBER 2008: Sex education was unlikely to be introduced in the National Service training, said NS Training Council chairman Datuk Dr Tiki Lafe, as feedback from various quarters had not been received.

Ismail: Keep sick children at home
2009/08/31
By Shuhada Elis - NST Online
KUALA LUMPUR: Parents have been advised to keep their sick children at home when school reopens tomorrow after a week-long break.
Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican said parents should act more responsibly to ensure their children were healthy before going back to school in view of the influenza A (H1N1) pandemic.
"Children with fever or cough should stay at home until they have fully recovered.
"They may spread the virus to their friends if they still have the symptoms," he said in a statement yesterday.
Parents have been urged to seek immediate treatment for children with influenza-like illness (ILI) and to let them rest at home.
Schools have also been told to accept medical certificates for students with ILI or are confirmed positive for H1N1.
Dr Ismail said the public should also continue improving their personal hygiene and to practise social distancing by staying at least one metre away from another individual.
He said as of 9am yesterday, another death was reported, bringing the H1N1-related toll to 72.
Dr Ismail said a 49-year-old odd-job worker went to Malacca Hospital on Aug 13 for treatment after having fever, cough and bouts of vomiting for two days.
"He was immediately given anti-viral treatment and antibiotics, and was tested negative for tuberculosis, typhoid, dengue, leptospirosis and H1N1 on Aug 18.
"However, he became seriously ill due to lung infections," he added.
The man died the next day.
The post-mortem result on Monday revealed that he was H1N1 positive and that he died from severe pneumonia with septicaemic shock.
The last death reported was on Wednesday when a 24-year-old obese woman was confirmed positive for H1N1.
Dr Ismail said 280 patients out of 1,515 receiving treatment for ILI had been confirmed positive with the virus.
Of the total, 44 are in intensive care units, 36 of them are in the high-risk group.
As of yesterday, 285 patients had been discharged from hospitals.

Tiada Kematian Baru H1N1 Dilaporkan Hari Ini
KUALA LUMPUR, 31 Ogos (Bernama) -- Sebanyak 99 pesakit baru dengan gejala penyakit seakan-akan influenza (ILI) dilaporkan pada Isnin dengan jumlah kematian akibat Influenza A(H1N1) kekal pada 72 kes.
Ketua Pengarah Kesihatan Tan Sri Dr Ismail Merican berkata setakat ini seramai 1,374 pesakit yang mempunyai gejala ILI sedang dirawat di 98 buah hospital di seluruh negara, dengan 286 pesakit disahkan positif H1N1.
Tiada kematian baru dilaporkan pada Isnin.
Daripada 286 kes itu, 46 kes berada di ICU, 32 merupakan pesakit daripada kumpulan berisiko, yang mana sembilan mempunyai penyakit kronik, sembilan lagi obesiti manakala kanak-kanak dan bayi seramai enam orang, katanya dalam satu kenyataan.
Tiga kes daripada mereka alalah pesakit selepas bersalin, dua kes mempunyai penyakit jantung, satu kes asma dan dua mempunyai imuniti rendah.
Dr Ismail turut menasihatkan ibu bapa supaya mengambil langkah berjaga-jaga dan cuma menghantar anak mereka yang sihat ke sekolah memandangkan sesi persekolahan akan bermula esok.
Katanya pelajar yang mengalami gejala demam atau batuk mesti terus berehat di rumah sehingga mereka bebas daripada gejala itu dan tiada menunjukkan sebarang simptom.
"Ini kerana mereka yang masih ada gejala walaupun ringan masih boleh menularkan virus tersebut kepada orang lain. Adalah dikhuatiri jika mereka menularkan virus ini kepada mereka yang berisiko, komplikasi yang serius termasuk kematian boleh berlaku," katanya.
Beliau juga menyeru supaya pihak sekolah turut memantau keadaan dan memastikan hanya murid yang sihat dibenarkan menghadiri kelas.
"Pelajar-pelajar yang didapati tidak sihat perlu dihantar pulang atau ke klinik untuk rawatan, maka guru tidak perlu menutup kelas," katanya.
