The Semarang note of the End of the City Year (2)
AT LEAST had two illnesses that received big attention in 2008 in the Semarang City. The two illnesses were dengue fever dengue fever (DBD) and bird flu or Avian influenza (AI).
Imagined, the two illnesses recorded ’’rekor’’ was fantastic enough. For the first time, DBD almost penetrated the figure 5,000 cases in a year and was talked about as that was highest for the last 15 years.
Now, also for the first time, bird flu claimed the inhabitants's Semarang casualties. Results of the recapitulation of the Health of the City of the Service (ET AL) Semarang showed, the number of sufferers DBD was recorded by 4,893 people with 17 casualties died. The data was gathered from the hospital and the community health centre that in-update a week very much. Enabled till 2008 to end still had the increase in the DBD case figure, considering update finally was carried out on December 22.
The number of DBD cases in 2008 almost twice the data fold 2007, that was recorded ’’hanya’’ 2,998 cases. Moreover, if compared with the data 2006, the number of DBD cases this year almost three fold times.
Nevertheless, the Municipal Government did not determine the KLB status for DBD. One of his consideration, the DBD handling was in the Semarang City considered to be relatively good. That could be seen from the low level of the death rate if compared with the number of cases that happened. The death rate 17 people from almost 5,000 cases was counted ’’kecil’’. As the standard, in 2007 that his case figure was around half years received by 38 casualties died.
If DBD not yet to the KLB status, was not like this his matter with bird flu. Coincided with the Kesehatan Nasional Day warning (HKN) the 44, the middle in November then, ET AL determined the KLB status bird flu. The status was appointed to follow the issuing produced by the laboratory inspection of the sample of DS blood (15), suspect bird flu that died. Results of the Laboratory inspection of Litbang Department of Health showed, the resident Street Medoho Iii Kelurahan Siwalan, Kecamatan Gayamsari, positive bird flu.
In accordance with the provisions, the KLB status bird flu could be applied like that the case, considering beforehand happened had never had the AI case with casualties died. The status was put into effect for two weeks or twice really the incubation of the bird flu virus.
Might not Terulang
Fenomena DBD and bird flu were the big problem for the Semarang City. Secondly that became HOMEWORK that immediately must be completed, to in 2009 no longer the similar condition happened. On the one hand, the behaviour of the community gave the big contribution in the height of the DBD case and bird flu. The awareness of the community to create the clean environment, gave spacious space to Aedes mosquitoes aegypti —yang became the DBD— virus bearer to breed. The bad habit like sleep in the morning, hanged clothes at random, or allowed tempayan water without the cover, enlarged the DBD opportunity of the case emergence.
Kekuranghati-hatian also became one of the factors that had the important contribution in the case emergence of bird flu. The habit left the kept poultry free to roam about or the existence of the chicken abattoir in the middle of the settlement, was one of the examples of the cause factor. At least the two that gave the occurrence opportunity of contact between humankind and the poultry that was attacked by the bird flu virus. Beside the provisions of the medicine that was enough, was good for DBD and bird flu, the socialisation must about the behaviour of the healthy life receive the priority. The Municipal Government was responsible for carrying out enlightenment to the community, so as cases of the deadly illness as DBD and bird flu could be oppressed.
Fortunately, in the middle of the bad news about DBD and bird flu, the health field also menorehkan the achievement that be proud of. In pengujung 2008, one of the community health centres in the Semarang City received the ISO 9001-2000, as the acknowledgment of his achievement in producing the first-rate service for the community. The appreciation that was given by Worldwide Quality Assurance (WQA), at least could become the drop of water that calmed. (Achiar M. Permana-37)
