JAKARTA (AFP): Indonesia now has a research laboratory facility infection with high security level (Bio Safety Level/BSL-3) like in many developed countries. Laboratories are capable of diagnosing infectious diseases in a timely and accurate, so that people avoid the pandemic.
"The study of infectious diseases like influenza or H1N1 swine can now be done in Indonesia, do not have to be taken out of the country," said Health Minister (Menkes) Endang Rahayu Sedyaningsih National Laboratory during the inauguration of Infection Research, in Jakarta, Monday (1 / 3).
Endang Rahayu added, the lab can also be used for research and vaccine candidates anticipate the possibility of zoonotic or transmitted infections from animals to humans.
"Infectious diseases both emerging and reemerging new can cause health emergency, which if not addressed properly, will have an impact on the economy and national security," he said.
Minister of Health asked the Balitbangkes (Research and Development Board of Health) to collaborate with universities and other research institutions to utilize the facility BSL-3 laboratory. Especially research related to the distribution, risk assessment, and prevention of communicable diseases.
"Must coordinate with other laboratories and universities, so there is no overlapping of work. Do not be doing the same thing. It's a waste, but do not there is a miss," said Endang Rahayu confirmed.
Meanwhile, the Head of Balitbangkes Purwadianto Agus explained, the success of the expansion preventing transmission of infectious disease one of which is determined by the speed of diagnosing infectious diseases more precisely and accurately. It became the basis for further action.
"For that, take appropriate laboratory facilities," Agus said, adding that the existence of the National Research Laboratory of Infectious Diseases has four independent compartments BSL-3 is very vital in determining the diagnosis for the prevention and control of infectious diseases.
Purwadianto Agus added that the WHO classification of disease based on risk level. These levels determine the type, the type or category of laboratory used both for inspection and for research.
"For example, avian influenza is a potentially deadly to the mode of transmission through the air. Avian influenza included in the risk level 3. Thus, to conduct inspections and research and development of avian influenza is a disease agent is required laboratory facilities level 3 (BSL3)," he said.
BSL3 laboratory is a laboratory facility that meets those needs, as well as a model of the asset management of various performance that puts the health laboratory as part of national security. (Tri Wahyuni)
