    This medicine, said Junaedi, only effective worked for 48 first hours.
    So, the sufferer who was indicated suspect bird flu must be handled as quickly as possible.

    Signs suspect bird flu almost was the same as common flu, like the hot body on 38 levels celcius, bones pain, the cough, flu, breathless, the headache was increased once contact with the positive poultry was affected by this virus.

          I feel this meeting was to (re) start the awareness on Bird Flu in NGO's :

          The step in this communication, said he, only was not carried out by the government, but also must involve the public figure, the mass media, the organisation of the young man, the organisation of the woman, the student, the scout, the cadet's coral, and the traditional group.

          The cooperation with the army / TNI is not new, as I understand it, the same - already existing - arrangements were continued .

            @ post # 3:

            Reported was a (symbolic) handing over of a puppet. Puppet in Indonesian is "Wayang" . The Wayang theatre is a very old, has many variations.
            Including informing people on recent developments, giving commentary, etc.

            So I imagine a Wayang show aimed at raising awareness on bird flu. I assume they will play this show at meetings of NGO's like mentioned in the article.

            For some background on Wayang: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayang

            You can look at Youtube for some Wayang video's .

            The Wayang theatre was used by the Indonesians in the years before the Independence to raise awareness on this issue.

                              Avian Influenza Mass Media Campaign
                              Country
                              Indonesia

                              South East and East Asia
                              Programme Summary

                              For a 3-month period in early 2008, the Community-Based Avian Influenza Control (CBAIC) project carried out a short, intensive mass media campaign drawing on behaviour change communication (BCC) in an effort to reduce avian influenza (AI) transmission risk in Indonesia. The purpose of the campaign was to promote key behaviours, reinforcing messages that were also delivered directly to the community level. Key areas addressed included the island of Java (especially the greater Jakarta area) and the islands of Bali and Sumatra.


                              Communication Strategies

                              This campaign featured an integrated strategy involving several mutually reinforcing elements: mass media, print material distribution, and community-level events. Messages focused on two key risk reduction behaviors: Report (suspected AI outbreaks) and Burn and Bury (dead poultry). A popular Indonesian television celebrity served as the ambassador of the CBAIC mass media campaign, providing a link between its on-air and off-air elements. Organisers chose this young man for his personality and popularity; "[h]e infused the campaign with energy and stirred public interest in the importance of AI control and prevention."



                              Specifically, the on-air campaign centred around 2 television public service announcements (PSAs); radio and additional television content (fillers and sponsorship of popular programmes) were also utilised.
                              Print material included stickers, posters, banners, t-shirts, fliers, and booklets. In order to increase recognition of CBAIC materials and to reinforce key messages, print materials incorporated the same messages, as well as images, colours, and branding, that were included in the on-air campaign. In addition, AI-themed variety shows were held in high-risk areas to stoke local interest and encourage participation in community-level AI control and prevention efforts. As with the print material, the variety shows incorporated the same key messages, images, colours, and branding. The popular television personality that starred in the educational and entertaining TV filler content appeared at each variety show; this was a strategy for raising the level of excitement and interest in each community.

                              Key Points
                              Since July 21 2005 (when the first human case of AI was confirmed in Indonesia) through September 10 2008, the Indonesian Ministry of Health reported a total of 137 confirmed human cases, including 112 fatalities ? a case fatality rate of over 80%. Indonesia accounts for more than one-third of all human cases worldwide, and almost half of all fatalities.



                              A total of 3,408 TV spots were aired and 34,991 radio spots were broadcast during the campaign. Using Neilsen media research data, it was estimated that CBAIC reached 96% of the intended audience (men and women aged 22 to 45 across Indonesia); this translates into an estimated 159 million viewers seeing a TV spot at least once during the campaign. CBAIC radio content reached an estimated 31 million listeners nationwide at least once. Quantitative and qualitative research found that:

                              People who saw CBAIC television messages were more likely than those who had not, to burn, bury, and report dead chickens to authorities;
                              The more often people had seen the CBAIC messages on TV, in person at a variety show, or in print, the more likely they were to carry out these behaviours; and
                              A cost-benefit analysis found that an investment of US$ 1.10 per household per message could affect positive behaviour change to reduce the risk of AI transmission.




                              Funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), CBAIC provides assistance to the National Committee for AI Control and Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, trains and mobilises community volunteers, and develops and implements targeted BCC initiatives.
