Jerantut Dalam Kenanganku..

Mengimbas kembali Februari 2008, setelahku tamat 'housemanship posting' di sebuah hospital di Perak.Kemudian berhijrah ke negeri Pahang, jiran negeri tanah tumpah darahku iaitu Terengganu mengikuti isteriku yang bekerja di Pahang.

Setibanya di Jabatan Kesihatan Negeri Pahang untuk melapor diri,aku ditempatkan di sebuah hospital daerah, Hospital Jerantut. Berfikir sejenak, dimanakah Jerantut...keesokan hari selepas melapor diri di JKN,aku bertolak ke Jerantut. Perjalanan memakan masa lebih kurang 1 jam dari Temerloh ke Jerantut.

Mulanya terasa begitu 'remote'nya daerah ini.Melihatkan kedudukan hospital yang sedikit jauh dari pekannya, bangunan hospitalnya yang kecil hanya mempunyai 4 wad dan 6 bilik untuk pesakit luar.ku gagahkan perasaan dan semangatku untuk berkhidmat untuk penduduk Jerantut dengan tekun,sabar dan ikhlas walaupun terpaksa berjauhan seketika dengan isteriku yang bekerja di Temerloh.

Selama lebih kurang setahun lebih bertugas di hospital Jerantut banyak pengalaman yang tidak ternilai dapat kutimba.ku pelajari bagaimana bekerja di hospital daerah yang memerlukan banyak kesabaran dan keberanian.Bayangkanlah bekerja di hospital tanpa pakar,walaupun boleh merujuk kepada pakar melalui telefon, tetapi baru kurasai bagaimana cabaran pegawai perubatan yang bekerja di 'district'.

Untuk sekalian kalinya, ku ingin mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada semua staff di hospital jerantut dari pekerja radicare hingga ke rakan sejawat doktor yang banyak membantu saya dan keluarga selama berada di Jerantut. tidak lupa juga saya ingin mengambil kesempatan disini untuk memohon kemaafan jika ada salah silap sekiranya terdapat salah silap sepanjang saya berada di sana.

Akhir kata, moga berjumpa lagi di masa akan datang, insyaallah.SELAMAT MAJU JAYA KEPADA SEMUA, MOGA SENTIASA DIBERKATI ALLAH.AMIN

PANDEMIC OF INFLUENZA A H1N1

1.On 29 April 2009, WHO was announced the swine flu or newly known as influenza A H1N1 to the level of phase 5 that indicates there are raise alert of influenza pandemic for this virus infection worldwide.



2.According to WHO pandemic phase description, phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human spread of the virus into at least 2 countries in one WHO region. While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration of phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short.



3.Up until today, 10/05/09 29 countries have offiially reported 4379 cases of influenza A H1N1 infection.Those countries have been reported to have influenza A H1N1 infection are - Argentina (1), Australia (1), Austria (1), Brazil (6), China, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (1), Colombia (1), Denmark (1), El Salvador (2), France (12), Germany (11), Guatemala (1), Ireland (1), Israel (7), Italy (9), Japan (4), Netherlands (3), New Zealand (7), Panama (3), Poland (1), Portugal (1), Republic of Korea (3), Spain (93), Sweden (1), Switzerland (1) and the United Kingdom (39).





4.WHO director General said that this is a time of great uncertainty for all countries, and great pressure on ministers and ministries of health. The only certain thing that can be said about influenza viruses is that their behaviour is entirely unpredictable. No one can say how the current situation will evolve. .Countries will, quite rightly, want to do everything possible to prevent the arrival of the virus or, once in a country, to delay its further spread and thus flatten the epidemiological peak. .At the same time, it is important for countries to refrain from introducing economically and socially disruptive measures that lack solid scientific backing and bring no clear public health benefit. .The rational use of travel- and trade-related measures is always wise. It is all the more wise at a time of severe economic downturn.





5.in our context of Malaysia, the main principal of to control this influenza A H1N1 to spread is to do a screening at all entry points of country.The health organization working so hard to ensure this virus spreading in our country. For conclusion, all malaysian must work together in preventing influenza A H1N1 outbreak worsening here.
