  • The Department of Health Anticipates Spreading Human to Human

    Department of Health is anticipating on (a) possible human-human outbreak(s). Apparantly they are trying to develop protocols to be used locally, how to handle such a situation.

    It looks like they are planning to isolate area's with H2H, help will be sought from the army (called TNI). It would not surprise me, if they want to use a human vaccine in these isolated area's.


    Also they are trying to find ways to make clear to the public, that it is important to report possible bird flu infections. Because of cultural and other differences between regions and islands, it seems each region needs it own approach to get results. Some regions are responsive, others not at all.

    An example is mentioned from Sulawesi, during a bird flu emergency people had a very postive attitude and "handed over" their poultry.
    However the results were negative for BF, now everybody is hiding their poultry. (Not sure if there was a compensation scheme).

    Bird Flu-The Department of Health Anticipates Spreading Human to Human

    Laporan Wartawan Kompas Khaerudin

    MEDAN, KOMPAS- Departemen Kesehatan mengantisipasi penyebaran virus H5N1 atau flu burung dari manusia ke manusia. Hingga saat ini penyebaran virus flu burung masih dalam tahap dari unggas ke manusia.

    MEDAN, KOMPAS-The Department of Health anticipates spread of the H5N1 virus or flu burung influenza from human to human. Until the moment this spread of flu burung influenza, still in phase from fowl to human.

    Menurut Kepala Sub Direktorat Penyakit Infeksi Saluran Napas Akut Direktorat Pengendalian Penyakit Menular Langsung Departemen Kesehatan Fonny Silfanus di Medan, Kamis (20/9), Departemen Kesehatan tengah menyusun pedoman penanganan penyebaran virus flu burung jika sudah sampai pada tahap penularan dari manusia ke manusia (human to human).

    According to the Head of the Sub Directorate of Disease Infection Acute Channel/Conduit Breathing (Respiratory?) Directorate Control Disease Infection/Spreading, Fonny Silfanus in Medan Thursday, September 20, The Central Department of Health (has) contrived guidance (on) handling the spread of the flu burung vius if done until the phase of contagion from human to human.

    “Pedoman ini sedang kami susun dan kami sosialisasikan ke berbagai daerah untuk meminta masukan. Karena bisa jadi penanganan antara satu daerah dengan daerah lainnya bisa berbeda,” ujar Fonny.

    This intermediate guidance we arranged and we (provide?) socialization to various areas in order to request input. Because (it?) can serve as handling between one area and another area (it) should be different," stated Fonny.

    Dia melanjutkan, pedoman pokok antisipasi penyebaran virus flu burung dari manusia ke manusia memang sudah ada dalam bentuk draft dan direncanakan selesai bulan Oktober hingga November mendatang. Detil aksi dalam pedoman tersebut melibatkan berbagai instansi seperti TNI/Polri, Departemen Perhubungan, Departemen Komunikasi dan Informasi hingga masyarakat.

    S/he continued, Guidance subject anticipation of the spread of bird flu virus from human to human yes already is existing in draft form and (is) scheduled (to be) finished forthcoming month October until November. Detailed action in guidance aformentioned involves all sorts of resorts like TNI/Polri (the Indonesian Military and Indonesian Police), the Department of Association/Affiliation/Coherence, the Department of Communication and Infomation, up to society.

    Nantinya kata Fonny, pedoman tersebut memuat langkah-langkah yang harus dilakukan jika penyebaran virus flu burung sudah sampai pada tahap penularan dari manusia ke manusia.

    Eventually, said Fonny, (in the) guidance aforementioned (there will be) published the actions that must be done if the spread of the bird influenza virus already (is) in the phase of contagion from human to human.

    “Kalau di suatu daerah ditemukan kasus penularan dari manusia ke manusia. Di mana kemungkinan ini bisa saja terjadi dan kita tidak tahu kapan. Langkah-langkah seperti mengkarantina daerah tersebut hingga mengisolasi penderita menjadi pegangan, tetapi ini kan tidak mungkin bisa dilakukan Departemen Kesehatan. Makanya harus lintas sektoral melibatkan institusi seperti TNI/Polri hingga Departemen Perhubungan,” tutur Fonny.

    "If in a certain area (there are) discovered cases of contagion from human to human. Where (there is)the possibility, this should just be enacted and we (do) not know when. Measures like quarantine (of) area aforementioned limited to isolating sufferer to become handling, however this because, you know (is) not possible, should (be) carried out (by the)Department of Health. Consquently (we) must move quickly across sectors engaging institutions like TNI/Polri up to the Department of Association/Affiliation/Coherence," said Fonny.

    Menurut dia, langkah penting dalam penyusunan pedoman ini adalah menggugah kesadaran masyarakat tentang bahaya penularan virus flu burung dari manusia ke manusia. Dalam berbagai kasus, reaksi masyarakat di tiap daerah berbeda ketika muncul kasus flu burung. Contohnya seperti ketika muncul kasus flu burung di Desa Sumbul, Kecamatan Kaban Jahe, Kabupaten Karo, Sumatera Utara (Sumut). Masyarakat setempat sempat tak percaya virus flu burung menyerang daerahnya.

    According to him/her, (there are) important steps in composing this guidance, namely to awaken the awareness of society about the dangers of contagion/spreading of flu burung virus from human to human. Within all sorts of cases, the reaction of society in each area is different as cases of flu burung emerge. An example as when (there) emerged cases of flu burung at the village Sumbul, Kecamatan Kaban Jahe, Kabupaten Karo, Sumatera Utara (Sumut). Local society (did) not have sufficient time to believe flu burung virus had attacked the area.

    Wakil Kepala Dinas Kesehatan Provinsi Sumut Syaiful Sitompul mengakui, harus ada perlakuan yang berbeda pada tiap masyarakat guna mencegah penyebaran virus flu burung. “Masyarakat kadang tidak percaya, apalagi jika di sekitarnya tak ada korban meninggal,” ujarnya.

    Deputy Head of Department of Health of Province of North Sumatra, Syaiful Sitompul, acknowledged (there) must exist treatment that is different in each community/society for the purpose to prevent the spread of the flu burung virus. Inhabitants sometimes (do) not believe particularly if in the surrounding area (there) is not a victim (that has) died.

    Fonny mengungkapkan, perbedaan reaksi masyarakat merupakan hal yang wajar. Masyarakat bisa saja cepat tanggap seperti di Minahasa Sulawesi Utara. “Di Minahasa begitu ada dugaan muncul virus flu burung, masyarakat menyerahkan semua unggasnya. Meski kemudian diketahui hasilnya negatif. Sekarang kan masyarakat malah ada yang menyembunyikan unggasnya,” kata Fonny.

    Fonny expressed, the variance (of) reaction (of)society/community (is) formed (by the) situation which is natural. Society should just be quickly responsive as in Minahasa Sulawesi Utara. "In Minahasa there is a notion (that with) emergent flu burung virus (the) community hands over all their poultry. Although later it was known the result (was) negative. Now you know, the community instead is concealing their poultry.
