In reports on outbreaks of infectious diseases in Indonesia, sometimes we see the outbreak is stated to be "KLB". This means more attention of the Health Authorities and more funding. FYI again some more on "KLB": (machinetranslation)
The Luar Biasa incident (KLB) was one of the status that was applied in Indonesia to classify the incident spread him a plague of the illness.
The status of the Extraordinary Incident was arranged by the Regulation Health Minister RI No. 949/MENKES/SK/VII/2004.
The Luar Biasa incident was explained as the emergence or the increase in the pain incident or the significant death in an epidemiological manner to an area in the certain period.
The criterion about the Extraordinary Incident referred in the Decision of the Director General No. 451/91, about the Guide Investigation and the Control of the Extraordinary Incident. According to the rule, an incident was stated extraordinary if having the element:
- The emergence of an infectious disease that beforehand was not or was not known by the Increase in the illness incident/the death continually while 3 periods were endless according to his illness kind (the hour, the day, the week)
- The Increase in the illness incident/the death 2 fold times or more compared with the period beforehand (the hour, the day, the week, the month, the year).
- The number of new sufferers in one month showed the rise 2 fold times or more when against the figure in general a month in the year beforehand.
