"However up to now from 850 hospitals (RS) in Indonesia evidently only half of RS that handed over the account to accept the Jamkesmas fund."

They did not want to send the account on the basis of frightened, Menkes words ended the discussions agenda and his operation of the article book of "Saatnya Dunia Berubah, Tangan" of the "Lord behind the Flu Burung Virus", in the Diponegoro University (Undip) Semarang, in Semarang, on Tuesday.

According to Menkes, all of RS in Indonesia indeed did not yet accept the Jamkesmas fund that replaced the poor program of the people's insurance (Askeskin).
"RS that did not yet hand over the account most of the Central Java," he said.
Menkes asked all of RS immediately to open the account in order to facilitate the channelling of the Jamkesmas fund.
Because of that Section Head Kesehatan (Dinkes) in order to coordinate with the related agency to overcome this problem.

He stressed, there was no change with the Jamkesmas implementation because only was related to the change in the name and the improvement in the system of the financial management.
"Money still in the Department of Health."

Previously money was at once managed was full of PT Askes, but currently enters the Negara Treasury, he said.

The change in the financial management, he said, only to cut bureaucracy in the liquefaction of the claim of the health service.
Whereas for the liquefaction of the fund will be carried out by the team of the verification of the independent in order to minimises the deviation.

"Previously money was indeed managed fully by PT Askes, evidently was based on the BPKP report (the Pemeriksa Body Finance and the Development) had my previous baldness the substitute with Jamkesmas and money no longer is handed over to PT Askes but to the Negara Treasury."

Only was launched if having RS that lodged the claim, he said.
By means of being like this, he said, then the use of the fund could for the poor people be transparent, was monitored, and was seen through the internet so as if having the technical difficulty in the field immediately could be overcome.

Menkes said, with the existence of the change (Askeskin became Jamkesmas) then the use of the fund for the poor people that previously not trasnparan currently became transparent.
However the change will definitely show the effect.
"Hopefully the people understood."
We needed the transparency and honesty in the channelling of the fund for the poor people.
We want to so that the people knows the use of the fund to help the health service of the poor people, he said.

The deadly illness attack was it was thought high and became main attention at this time.
Efforts that will be speeded up, namely the socialisation that involved the religious figures.
That was done, the reason still the difficulty changed the refractivity of the resident who maintained the poultry not truly.

More Mampu

For example, still many residents who penned the chicken of one place with the kitchen.
The religious figure it was considered more had the capacity to ask the person to change to the better matter.
By the religious figure, the role of the government and the management of the tradition also was needed.
The other weakness, that is the process studied the slow community.

In Central Java bird flu claimed casualties died nine people.
The number made Central Java occupy the fourth level in Indonesia in bird flu casualties.
To ex-Karesidenan Semarang, fatalities died was in the Semarang Regency, Kendal, and Grobogan respectively 1 person.

Internasional diplomacy to deal with Flu Burung

The spreading of bird flu virus to the poultry and humankind in several countries continued to spring up.
If the handling of the spreading of slow bird flu, then the threat of the influenza pandemic would increasingly real.
So, diplomacy of the health field in the international depths really was needed in order to create the mechanism of the control of just and transparent bird flu.
Was like this was sent by Health Minister Siti Fadilah Supari in going to class the public had the theme Avian Diplomacy: Facing tea of Challenges of Technology and Global Capitalism, opposite the students in the auditorium of the Native, the campus of FISIP Universitas Indonesia, Depok, of West Java.
In the agenda, Menkes also explained briefly about the contents of his work book was entitled Saatnya Dunia Berubah!
The hands of the Lord behind the Flu Burung Virus.

He explained, in the middle of efforts to look for bird flu medicine on the basis of the determination of the diagnosis, the Kesehatan Body of the World ordered the country where being found by the case of bird flu to humankind to send the sample of this virus to the reconciliation laboratory of WHO. Enough fact, the sample of the virus was even used for the commercial interests by the pharmacy company without se Indonesian government knowledge.

It was related that, his side decided to stop the sending of the sample of the virus until WHO changed the mechanism of the sending of the sample of the just and transparent virus.
With the long mechanism, the sender's country of the sample of the virus did not receive some sort benefits when the sample of the virus was made the vaccine candidate by the pharmacy company from developed countries.
Moreover, they must buy the vaccine or medicine with the price was very expensive.
Therefore, his side demanded that the mechanism of the sending of the sample of the virus used the transfer agreement of the material (MTA).
The sender's entitled also country received the good benefit took the form of the transfer of technology and the ease got the vaccine with the cheap price.
"With diplomacy" of the "good health field, then the mechanism" of the "sending" of the "sample" of the "virus that went for dozens of years and very damaging developing countries could be changed," he said.
International diplomacy very important in an effort to bring about the eradication of potential infectious diseases the plague including the illness zoonosis.
So that the change in the mechanism of the sending of the sample of the virus could be continuous, then currently each sample of the virus that was sent uses MTA. "Without the existence" of the "agreement between the sender's country and the recipient's agency, then Indonesia will not send the sample" of the "virus."
This change also was internationally valid, said Fadilah.

This was marked by being not yet optimal him the prevention of the AI spread antarunggas as well as the weakness of the supervision of the trade traffic in the poultry.

The chief executive of the Komnas FBPI Bayu Krisnamurthi Daily said, spread him came back the case of bird flu must be in several places guarded against.
"When was seen several last years, the increase cycle in the case of bird flu in a year was almost similar.
The case increased in January to the end of March, began to descend in April," Bayu words.
As far as this is concerned, continued Bayu, the AI control was hindered by the shortage of knowledge about bird flu, especially the character of the virus, the spread model of the virus among poultry and the main factor the cause someone was infected by bird flu.
"Department of Agriculture also still was looking for what vaccine that most was suitable for the poultry," he said.

Moreover, now was not yet formed by the national system that spread everywhere concerning the control of the illness that originated in the animal (zoonosis).

That not yet distroyed

"We was still being waiting see you tomorrow (on Monday), after results of the third test were known," Nur Mahmudi words after paying a condolence call to the funeral parlour.

From Padang was reported, two patients were expected by bird flu, respectively Etriani (29) and Afifa (2), that was treated in RSUP Dr M. Djamil, Padang, was still waiting for one result of the inspection of the lungs to confirm both of them were infected by the bird flu virus or not.

"Impact of the change in the climate would more was felt in country developed," said Director WHO for the Territory Pacific West that was based in Manila, Shigeru Omi, yesterday.
Various disasters resulting from global warming that has happened including malaria, diarrhoea, and malnutrition.
Besides this, the pattern of the uncertain season also resulted in the flood and the other disaster.
"Unfortunately that could not be handled like the case of bird flu," more Omi.
Global warming also caused the rise in the surface of sea water as far as the mainland in the Pacific Island like Tuvalu and The Marshall Islands. That more again serious, the change in the climate changed the seasonal pattern so as to be difficult to estimate the season planted.
The regional adviser WHO Hisashi Ogawa said global warming will reduce the death resulting from the season cool. Although the bigger death precisely came in the other season.
The researchers NASA stated that global warming caused the earth in the crisis as well as the industry of world oil to try to hide the problem that emerged.

The research was not coordinated Well

The matter research of bird flu or avian influenza to the poultry and humankind till at this time was not coordinated well.
Each institution or the research agency carried out the research separately without the co-ordination so as not more optimal the benefit of his research.
Apart from not all that the co-ordination, flow of the fund was also very limited so as several researchers established the work was the same as the research agency overseas.
In fact, results of the research that applicative has been very urgent in the middle spread him the bird flu virus or H5N1 that caused the death 107 Indonesians.

The number of deaths was biggest all over the world.
"Forum for the researcher's communication H5N1 to humankind and the poultry must be formed to exchange mutual information.
This to bring about autonomy of the research," the Co-ordinator's words the Penyakit Berpotensi Wabah Unit and Hepatitis of Lembaga Biologi Molekuler Eijkman David Handojo Muljono in Jakarta, on Tuesday (8/4).

Separately Chairman Panel Ahli the Nasional Pengendalian Committee of Bird Flu and Menghadapi Pandemi Influenza Preparedness (Komnas FBPI) Amen Soebandrio acknowledged, uptil now the bird flu researchers to the poultry and humankind did not interact.
"Sejak Awal the development of the research collided the shortage hindrance of facilities, especially the shortage of the laboratory BSL-3 (biological safety level-3)," he said.
BSL-3 was the laboratory with the level of the security that was very high for the very dangerous research of viruses.
According to Amen, communication between the bird flu researcher to humankind and the poultry was needed to know how far the genetic change in the virus.
In several cases evidently genetic from the AI virus to the poultry was different from humankind.
"We to the conclusion, the bird flu virus could just spread to humankind if the change or the mutation of the gene happening," said Amen.
Considering the importance network interresearcher, continued Amen, since the end of last year Komnas FBPI had coordinated the meeting inter-researcher bird flu to the poultry and humankind to share information periodically or if having the case.

Reported to Depkes

According to David Handojo, be based on note/bank note to have agreement with the Department of the Health, Lembaga Eijkman functioned confirmed the diagnosis of the virus infection H5N1 to humankind to analyse the existence of the mutation and strange signs to the sample of the virus through the DNA ordering.
"Institute/Committee also studied the risk of the assessment of the virus infection H5N1 with the characterisation of the virus and studied the risk from virus resistance against various medicine antivirus," he said.
All the result of the research was reported to the Department of the Health as the foundation of the taking of the policy of the control of bird flu to humankind.
To support the research activity, the government to fund the development of the laboratory with the level of the biological security (BSL) -3, including his maintenance cost.

Hundreds isolat the AI virus
Separately Elly Siregar, Koordinator the Pengendalian Unit of the Illness of Avian Influenza Pusat Directorate General Peternakan Departemen of Agriculture had said, since spreading him the case avian influenza (AI) during 2004, the researcher in Directorate General Peternakan Departemen of Agriculture carried out the monitoring and the collection isolat the virus that was found in four sectors of poultry livestock breeding in Indonesia.
Till at this time had hundreds isolat the AI virus that could be gathered from scale livestock breeding of the household to the big industry.

This program was carried out by the Department of Agriculture co-operated with the reference laboratory belonging to International Office of Epizootics (IOE) that concentrated in Geelong, Australia, and the Network of the Expert in Unggas Organisasi Flu of Food and Agriculture (FAO).

In the national level of the Department of Agriculture involved the researcher from the Pengujian Hall and Veteriner Investigation under the Besar Penelitian Veteriner Hall that totalled seven all over Indonesia.

The mapping of the virus genetically also was carried out in the Besar Penelitian Veteriner Hall in the limited number.
The work was the same as the IOE reference Laboratory was needed to speed up the work or the task did antigenik and the genetic mapping as well as challenge test (the test about).

In the meantime, the shortage of the research fund caused the researcher to establish the work was the same as the research agency overseas.
As being carried out by the researcher Ines Irene Atmosukarto from the Centre of the Bioteknologi Research in the Agency of Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) that developed the research of the bird flu vaccine on funding of a Australian biotechnology company.
"I had the opportunity for the development of the bird flu vaccine by uniting technology from Australia and Indonesia.
For his research in Australia because in Indonesia was not to fund," said Ines Irene.
According to Ines, the research of the bird flu vaccine in Canberra now is scheduled to end at the end of 2008.
Separately the Deputy the Field of Jasa Ilmiah LIPI Jan Sopaheluwakan said, the transfer of the vaccine research or antivirus birds overseas indeed became the complicated problem.
The research like that only could not be seen from the corner of nationalism must be carried out in the Motherland.

The authority formidable

Chairman Gabungan of the Businessman Indonesian Poultry Breeding (GPPI) Anton J Supit stressed, the weakness of the implementation of the handling of the control of bird flu because of the nonexistence of the authority that was strong to undertake planning that was made.
As a result, various control programs of bird flu did not go.
According to Anton Supit, the government formed komnas the control of AI. Namun, the authority komnas this very much was restricted so as only could make planning and the appeal.
"Although in the handling of the spreading of the bird flu virus must through the cross-department work.
Finally the co-ordination did not go, moreover in the autonomy era of the area as it is now," he said.
Therefore, said Anton Supit, the government must reinforce the Komnas FBPI. Capability role must be given was full to this agency to control bird flu.
The official in the related departments as well as in the area must submit and obedient in this agency.
