What is Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis, or TB, is an infectious bacterial
disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis,
which most commonly affects the lungs. It is
transmitted from person to person via droplets
from the throat and lungs of people with the
active respiratory disease.
In healthy people, infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis
often causes no symptoms, since the person's immune system
acts to “wall off ” the bacteria. The symptoms of active TB of
the lung are coughing, sometimes with sputum or blood, chest
pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats.
Tuberculosis is treatable with a six-month course of
antibiotics.

EDITOR’S Note
Dr. B. Venugopalan
Medical Director
Malaysian Association For The Prevention of Tuberculosis (MAPTB)
Another year has quickly passed us by and this issue of the MAPTB newsletter will provide a quick snapshot of the
various activities implemented by the state and Federal MAPTB branches. As has been the focus over the last few years,
MAPTB ‘s role is targeted towards increasing TB advocacy at all levels of the community and motivating TB treatment
compliance through the Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS).
MAPTB has considerable advantage in moving across the message of TB among the community, especially the rural
community and urban poor, due to its well established informal networking that lends a “personal touch” to these
messages. This is well illustrated by the activities that had ranged from talks being held in the long houses in Sarawak
to the hotels in Kuala Lumpur.
The TAS scheme will continue to be an important core community service role of the MAPTB as this the only activity
where funds are directly disbursed to TB patients to improve treatment compliance. However, although the number
of TB patients receiving TAS is high, there is currently lack of data to demonstrate the impact of TAS in improving
patient’s compliance to TB treatment. It is recommended that the state MAPTB liaise closely with the state/ district
health department to line-list the TB patients on TAS and to monitor the outcome of their treatment, in terms of
compliance and cure rate. Analysis of this information will be useful to evaluate the impact of the TAS programme
and also be used as an advocacy tool to highlight the contribution of MAPTB to the national TB control programme.
The main highlight for 2007 was the successful organization by MAPTB of the 1st Asia Pacific Region Conference
of the International Union Against TB & Lung Disease (IUATLD) in Kuala Lumpur from the 2nd-5th August 2007.
This international conference was attended by more than 1000 delegates and the strong scientific programme gave
comprehensive emphasis to the various aspects of TB and lung diseases management. This conference was
administratively managed by a Professional Conference Organizer (PCO) who did an excellent job in the run-up to
the conference and during the conference proper. Many delegates, including from international organizations such as
the World Health Organization and the IUATLD, commended the strong scientific programme and the efficient
conduct of the conference. The successful organization of this conference by MAPTB has firmly highlighted the
important role that this organization is playing in the national TB control programme.
Finally, the theme of the World TB Day 2008 “I am stopping TB’ aptly describes the important role of each individual
in the fight against TB that includes advocacy, prevention, early diagnosis, treatment compliance, rehabilitation and
overcoming stigmatization. To mark this global event, the state MAPTB branches have organized varied activities to
mark this international day, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and other non-governmental organizations.

MESSAGE from the President of the
Malaysian Association For The Prevention of Tuberculosis
Y. Bhg. Datuk Seri Yeop Jr. b. Hj. Yeop Adlan, DPMP, PMP, PJN, PJK, JP.,
President of The Malaysian Association For The Prevention of Tuberculosis &
President of The Union, Asia Pacific Region
It is with great happiness that I meet you once again at this annual event. In my message, I wish to share with you
two very distinct topics - one that relates to hosting 1st Asia Pacific Region Conference of the International Union
Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease in Kuala Lumpur from 2nd August to 5th August 2007, after a lapse of 39
years after being last held in Malaysia, and another that speaks of the effort of MAPTB members’ strong commitment
in the continuation of their fight against TB.
The first few months of the year 2007 have been especially active with the members of Organising Committee of the
1st Asia Pacific Region Conference taking all the necessary steps to ensure that no stones remain unturned for a
successful conference. August 2007 was a most busy month. The conference was indeed a great success and well
praised by the participants. The response towards the Conference was overwhelming with an attendance of more
than one thousand delegates from local and overseas. Malaysia could be considered as the favoured destination for the
year 2007 in terms of attendance for international conferences. At the same time we celebrated our success of this
memorable conference, I would like to thank everyone who directly and indirectly contributed to the success of the
conference. We are indeed proud to be associated with The Malaysian Thoracic Society as co-organiser of this
conference. I wish to extend my heartfelt appreciation to Yg. Bhg. Datin Dr. Hjh Aziah Ahmad Mahayiddin for her
unending guidance and support.
In the control of TB, MAPTB has continued extensively its TB Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS) that provided
financial assistance to the needy TB patients to continue seeking TB treatment until they are fully recovered, thus
reducing the defaulter rate that could hamper the National TB Control Programme in our country. Labuan whose TB
Association is registered as Labuan Anti TB Association is the new state affiliate of MAPTB and they will be
implementing this programme soon. It is my fervent wish that the TB TAS will be implemented in all states of
Malaysia. We will also continue with the TB awareness projects in organizing TB exhibitions and TB seminar at states
and districts where we hope to reach the grassroot level. On TB awareness, we had printed TB leaflets and pamphlets
with facts of TB for distribution to the general public. Berita MAPTB is now an annual newsletter published by the
Federal body. In every issue, we make every attempt to include articles on facts of TB with updates on the current TB
situation in Malaysia and by WHO. These are valuable resources for readers to enhance their knowledge on TB. We
will try to develop more creative and refreshing articles for future issues. The theme for World TB Day 2008 is “I AM
STOPPING TB.” Let us stop TB together.
It is my privilege to serve the Association and I hope that MAPTB can continue to stop TB in this challenging work
with a smart partnership with Ministry of Health. I wish to thank all my fellow colleagues and members of MAPTB
for their full co-operation and putting together all these years for the interest and success of MAPTB. May God bless
you.

MESSAGE from the Honorary Secretary General of the
Malaysian Association For The Prevention of Tuberculosis
Tuan Hj. Sahul Hamid bin Hj. A. Karim, JSM, KMN, PPN, PIS,
Honorary Secretary General of The Malaysian Association For The Prevention of Tuberculosis &
Honorary Secretary of The Union, Asia Pacific Region
Welcome to this edition of MAPTB Newsletter, this may be the first time you are reading this bulletin, for others it
is a continuation of our annual publication to reach the ears of the general public on our activities. Read on to find
out what we have for you.
As we sailed through the busy year of 2007 of hosting the successful 1st Asia Pacific Region Conference of the
International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease held from 2nd to 5th August 2007, the year 2008 had
rolled out to be another exciting year for MAPTB to replay our role in stopping TB. It is everybody’s intention to put
in good effort in achieving the objective to lend support, complement the National TB Control Programme of the
Ministry of Health so as to ensure that TB does not pose a major public health problem in the country despite its recent
rise in the country. My focus for this year to put in more efforts to speed up the reimbursement of the payment of
TB Treatment Allowance Scheme (TAS) monthly to all state associations while waiting for The Ministry of Health to
release the Government Grant for the year 2008. Next, I will look into other means to generate more income for the
Association with the vision that one day MAPTB will be financially independent. For the TB awareness, MAPTB will
give support to its 14 state affiliates to continue with their road shows, organize TB seminars, TB talks and TB
exhibitions especially in the rural areas. For the implementation of TB TAS we are taking steps to assist our state
associations to set up office at every district in their states as we want the TAS to benefit all needy TB patients in the
country and at the same time, these district associations will also carry other anti-TB activities and projects to create
more TB awareness.
MAPTB is a voluntary and a charitable organization depending on public donations to carry out its activities. On
behalf of the Association, I wish to thank gratefully all donors, well wishes and business houses for their generous
donations that had enabled MAPTB to further intensify its activities on a larger scale.
MAPTB has come a long way with a history of 60 years after being formed in 1948, where it stated its role in antituberculosis work. Along the journey of our history and development, I strongly believe that Association cannot grow
to this stage without the contribution of the members. The effort put in by these valued members over the years
keeps it all together and formed a strong association that has inspired others to work with us that today MAPTB has
achieved local and international recognitions. For the last three consecutive years, MAPTB’s members had been
awarded with the National TB Leader Award (Tokoh Tibi) by the Ministry of Health. MAPTB members had also
received Federal Awards by the Honorable Yang Di-Pertuan Agong for their contribution in the anti-tuberculosis
works. MAPTB had also received invitations from international organization to participate in their conventions. All
these awards and accolades show the achievement of MAPTB. Your achievements are MAPTB’s achievements for
Malaysia towards a world free from TB. All Malaysians will surely look forward to this. MALAYSIA BOLEH.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank the Council Members, representatives of all state associations and staff
for their support and services rendered to the association over the years.

The scientific programme comprising 4 pre-conference workshops, 3 plenary lectures and 25 symposia was designed to cover
a wide spectrum of topics on tuberculosis and lung diseases which pose a heavy healthcare burden in the Region. In addition,
there were four lunch symposia which were sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. The theme of this Conference,
‘Overcoming an Old Scourge with a New Face’, was highly befitting of the current scenario in the Asia-Pacific region. The
4 pre-conference workshops provided an intensive approach to clinical issues in National Tuberculosis Control Programmes
in 12 high, medium and low TB burden countries in the Asia Pacific Region; Sleep Apnoea; Diagnostic and Interventional
Pulmonology; and Smoking Cessation. In the main Conference, symposia in the three parallel tracks of Clinical Tuberculosis,
Non-tuberculosis Respiratory Diseases and Non-clinical Issues dealt with the core challenges of TB management and
control such as early diagnosis, effective treatment and treatment compliance as well as new diagnostic methods for TB were
given special emphasis. At the same time, the Conference also took a very close look at the common and important
respiratory diseases such as bronchial asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnoea, pneumonias
and emerging respiratory infections as well as related issues such as smoking cessation and tobacco control.
A total of 161 free communication papers were accepted of which 66 papers were presented orally and 95 were
presented as poster discussion.
The faculty consisted of a rich assembly of 41 international and regional experts and 20 Malaysian speakers who
shared scientific advances and their practical experiences with the delegates. The contribution of the distinguished
faculty certainly elevated the standard and quality of the Conference. The scientific contents of the symposia were of
a high standard and all the sessions were well attended with active participation of the audience.
The Opening Ceremony on 2 August 2007 was graced by The Honourable Director General of Health, Tan Sri Datuk
Dr. Hj Mohd Ismail B. Merican and the delegates were entertained by a multicultural performance by the City Council
troupe. On 3 August 2007, the Faculty and members of the Organising Committee were feted to a dinner held at the
Seri Melayu Restaurant. The Congress Dinner on 4 August 2007 was well attended and the delegates and their
accompanying persons were entertained by a rousing cultural performance by Tourism Malaysia and jazz music. It was
heartening to note that a good number of delegates remained and attended the last day of the Conference which was
a half day programme. The Conference ended with Professor Liam Chong-Kin, the Scientific Committee Chairman,
presenting the conclusions and resolutions of the Conference (Appendix 1). The Honourable Deputy Director of
Health, Dato’ Dr. Hj. Ramlee bin Hj Rahmat officially closed the Conference.
The generous support by the various local pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies is much appreciated.
We certainly hope the Conference had been enriching and the scientific programme intellectually stimulating to
clinicians, medical scientists, allied healthcare professionals and members of non-governmental organisations and had
achieved its mission of advancing knowledge of tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases in the Asian Pacific region.
The next APR Regional Conference will be held in Beijing, China from 9th to 12 September 2009.

Resolutions of the 1st Asia Pacific Region (IUATLD APR)
Conference 2007 made on 5 August 2007
Appendix 1
Prevention and Control of Tuberculosis and Smoking-Related Lung Diseases
The Conference,
1. Acknowledges and recognises that
➢ the Western Pacific Region has met the 2005 targets for tuberculosis (TB) control, which include region-wide
directly observed treatment, short-course (DOTS) coverage, detection of 70% of the estimated TB cases, and
successful treatment of at least 85% of such cases;
➢ successful implementation of the Stop TB Regional Strategy 2000-2005 has facilitated achievements of these targets;
➢ the Western Pacific Region is committed to the regional goal of reducing TB prevalence and mortality by one
half by 2010, relative to 2000, thereby contributing to the TB-related United Nations Millennium Development Goals;
➢ achievement of the 2005 regional TB control targets is only an intermediate step towards achieving this regional
goals of reducing by one half the burden of TB by 2010;
➢ the current 3% annual decline in TB prevalence and mortality would have to increase to an 8% annual decline,
based on WHO modelling, for the Region to achieve the 2010 regional goal;
➢ tobacco consumption and diseases related to tobacco consumption are on the rise in the Region;
➢ there is an urgent need for a comprehensive and integrated tobacco control programme;
2. Expresses
➢ concerns over the quality of DOTS implementation in some parts of the Region, the need to work towards
ensuring equitable access to TB care, and the need to engage all health care providers in TB control;
➢ further concern at the threats of multidrug-resistant TB, TB-HIV co-infection as well as extensive drug-resistant
TB (XDR-TB) that could undermine the achievements made so far in TB control;
➢ concerns that compared to TB control, tobacco control has so far been neglected although tobacco use is a
serious public health problem;
3. Endorses
➢ the Strategic Plan to Stop TB in the Western Pacific 2006-2010, aimed at providing guidance to countries and
areas in the Region to address the challenges and sustain the momentum towards the 2010 regional goals;

MAPTB & DOTS
Malaysian Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis
The Malaysian Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis is a non-profit , non-governmental organization
(NGO), that is dedicated to assisting the Government of Malaysia in the fight against TB.
It’s primary aim is the prevention, control, treatment, research and relief of Tuberculosis.
Its activities include:
• Providing health education to the public
• Providing financial assistance to needy TB patients
• Collaborating with the Ministry of Health in the implementation of the DOTS (Direct Observation
Treatment)
The five major components of DOTS, as described by WHO, are:
commitment and resources - TB control is a public health responsibility, and top-down support is
• Political
crucial. This component must be the strongest link in the chain.
- Accurate diagnosis using sputum-smear microscopy among symptomatic patients is the first step
• Microscopy
in early detection of active TB infection. It sets the DOTS cure cycle in motion and protects others from
infection.

functional health-sector infrastructure and trained personnel.
- Regular, uninterrupted supplies of the four to six most effective anti-TB drugs is essential. Full

compliance with the drug regimen results in nine out of ten patients being cured.
- A standardized recording and reporting system allows assessment of each patient's treatment and
• Monitoring
progress. Rigorous overall record-keeping also acts as early warning for emerging disease trends (such as MDR-TB).
What's So Special about DOTS?
DOTS cures active TB. It is remarkably effective. Without treatment, seven in ten people with infectious TB will
die of the disease, on average within four to five years of onset, even if they are young when they contract the
disease.' Though non-DOTS TB-control programmes in low- and lower-middle income countries may decrease
deaths considerably, such programmes are usually less successful at curing TB. Many sufferers remain chronically
ill and continue to unknowingly transmit the disease to family, friends, and even strangers.
Conversely, good DOTS programmes rapidly reduce both death and disease, curing more than 85 percent of
patients. In human terms, DOTS gives young people marked for premature TB death a chance to lead full and
productive lives, raise children to adulthood, and make contributions to their communities and society. Additionally:
• DOTS saves lives
• DOTS stops the chain reaction of transmission
• DOTS prevents treatment failure and the emergence of even more deadly starins of drug resistant TB
• DOTS reduces TB recurrence rate
• DOTS indirectly alleviates poverty
• DOTS overcomes TB’s stigma
• DOTS provide a model for strenghening health services
• DOTS saves taxpavers’ money and lives
Benefit of DOTS

Announcement of The Union World Conference Paris 2008
The 39th Union World Conference on Lung Health of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The
Union), which will be held at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, France, from 16 to 20 October 2008.
The theme of the Conference is “Global threats to lung health: the importance of health system responses”.
In light of the increased prominence of the importance of global public health security subsequent to the recent global threats
to lung health, we believe that it is highly important that the next World Conference brings forth and explores the challenges
of building up and strengthening the readiness and preparedness of health systems in preventing global threats to lung heath
and mitigating their impact, not only on the health of the populations, but also on their national and trans-border social and
economic consequences.
This Conference will address how best we, as the lung health community, can help identify and eliminate the system-related
barriers to the effective prevention of lung health threats and put in place both the much-needed public health measures and the
appropriate medical care for the affected. Such measures will go from building a well-functioning surveillance system to equipping
health facilities with the necessary technology and providing them with competent lung health workers for proper care.
The 2008 World Conference will not only provide the platform for a rigorous assessment of the global threats to lung health,
but that it will also contribute to our commitment to act globally for a better coordinated and more effective response, regardless
of where we, the lung health professionals, live or work.

The Global Plan to Stop TB 2005 - 2015 Actions for Life
Commit
Act
This Plan is a call for action. For
advocates in countries and at global
level to argue the case for investing in
the Plan. For all countries to fully
implement the actions set out in the
Plan, and to mobilize sufficient
domestic and external resources to
make this happen. For civil society to
demand access to quality TB care and to
the fruits of research and development.
For community groups to support
patients to come forward for diagnosis
and to complete their treatment.
As Partners with a strong commitment
to Stop TB, we can coordinate our actions to implement the Plan. In acting
together as Partners, the sum of our efforts will be far greater than if we each
acted on our own. Our actions in implementing the Plan will result in millions of
lives saved.
These are actions for life - actions towards a world free of TB.
Collaborate
We have made progress in global TB
control, but much remains to be done.
Building on this progress so far, the
Plan sets out our commitment to
implementing a new, ambitious strategy
to Stop TB. We are committed to
achieving our objectives in working
towards the Partnership's targets for
2015 and the Millennium Development
Goals.
Our commitment to successfully
carrying out the Plan implies a
commitment to mobilizing resources,
expanding our efforts, and sustaining
activities over the long term. Global TB control is a marathon, not a sprint-the
targets in this Plan for 2015 are a step on the road to the long-term goal of TB
elimination by 2050.
We are committed to promoting the ideals embodied in the Plan, and passing
them on to the next generation.
Achieve
This Plan is the embodiment of
collaboration, involving the efforts of
the just over 400 Partners that make up
the Stop TB Partnership. Expanding
this collaboration is crucial to the
success of implementation of the Plan.
New collaborating Partners will be
drawn from within the health sector
and from other sectors.
Ensuring that this collaboration is as
effective and dynamic as possible is a
responsibility of all Partners and of the
Partnership Secretariat. Effective and
dynamic collaboration requires
understanding and insight into areas beyond our own special areas of interest. It
requires mutual understanding of our different roles and capabilities, that are
harnessed in pursuit of our common targets and goals.
The success of the Plan depends on the collaborative efforts of all Partners.
34
Targets provide a spur to action and a benchmark
for measuring progress. In terms of reaching
targets, full funding (US$56 billion) and
implementation of the Plan would result in
achievement of the Millennium Development
Goal relevant to TB. It would also result in global
achievement of the Partnership's 2015 targets to
halve prevalence and death rates from the 1990
baseline. Achieving these targets means making
enormous progress in all regions with prevalence
and death rates halved, or almost halved, over the
period of the Plan from 2006 to 2015.
The statistics underpinning these targets are about
people. Achieving the targets means making a
difference to the lives of many millions of people:
to the lives of the 50 million people to be treated,
and their families; to the 14 million people whose lives will be saved; to the lives of the people who in
future will be spared the suffering and death caused by TB, as we develop the new diagnostics, drugs
and vaccines that will pave the way for the elimination of TB by 2050.
Achieving the Partnership's targets for 2015 is a step towards the goal of TB elimination by 2050.

The Global Plan to Stop TB 2005 - 2015 Actions for Life
Invest
Implementing the Plan requires an
investment by many partners - an
investment in time and effort. The
Plan also requires many Partners to
invest financial resources. The total
cost of realizing the Plan is US$56
billion over ten years. Past experience
indicates that a financial investment
to Stop TB is a good investment one that yields results.
All countries have made a
commitment to ensure the
availability of sufficient domestic and
external resources to achieve the
Millennium Development Goal relevant to TB. An investment of US$56 billion
over the next ten years will result in 50 million TB patients treated, 14 million lives
saved, and the development of the new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines that can
revolutionize global TB control.
Investing in the Plan brings better TB control, healthier communities and less poverty.
Treat
Access to quality diagnosis and
treatment is a human right for all who
have TB. Over the ten years of the
Plan, about 50 million people will be
treated for TB under the Stop TB
Strategy. Treatment benefits the
individual with TB and the community.
Since TB is spread from person to
person, protecting the community
from TB depends on ensuring
effective treatment of individuals with
the disease.
At the heart of the Plan is an approach
that links innovation with
implementation. As new diagnostics
and drugs become available, their implementation will enable patients to be treated
more quickly and more effectively. Progress in vaccine development raises the prospect
of a new, safe and effective vaccine being available by 2015. This will make prevention
a key ally of treatment.
Treatment of TB saves lives and protects our communities.
Reach
TB represents a global threat to
health. Full implementation of the
Plan will expand the reach of quality
TB care towards all patients,
wherever they live and irrespective or
their gender, age, socio-economic
group or type of TB.
To ensure all TB patients have access
to quality care, the Stop TB
Partnership will reach out to a wide
range of Partners. In reaching out to
all those who have a role to play to
Stop TB, we reach out to the
communities blighted by TB,
touching millions of lives.
The Partnership's aim is for quality TB care and the benefits of research and
development to reach everybody in need.
Innovate
The Plan has a two-track approach to Stop
TB: maximizing the benefit of applying the
existing tools for TB control, while at the
same time developing the new tools
(diagnostics, drugs and vaccines) that are so
urgently needed. Innovation is key to both
these approaches. The Plan encompasses
innovative methods of expanding access to
quality TB care. The Plan also encompasses
the innovation of research and
development in making available the new,
improved tools to Stop TB.
Until recently, TB as a global health issue
suffered from a lack of investment in the
development of innovative tools to Stop
TB. Full funding of the Plan will transform
this situation, as new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines become increasingly available. The dramatic
breakthrough to eliminate TB by 2050 depends on these innovative tools.
Innovation is the key to progress, through maximizing the benefit from existing tools and
promoting the development of new tools to Stop TB.
Advocate
Everybody involved in creating,
developing and delivering the Plan
must act as an advocate to ensure
that TB features prominently on the
global political and health agenda.
People with TB and communities
affected by TB who are empowered
to speak out will be potent advocates
for change. "Business as usual" is not
enough.
The Plan provides a sound argument
for the resources needed for action,
and is therefore a powerful tool for
advocates. Sustained advocacy will
help persuade national governments and donors to fulfil their commitment to
Stop TB by investing in the Plan.
Each of us can speak out and help mobilize support for the Plan to Stop TB.
Hope
The revitalization of global efforts to
Stop TB since the early 1990s has
restored a sense of hope. In the past,
a sense of hopelessness pervaded
efforts to control many diseases of
poverty, including TB. There was an
acceptance that TB will always be
with us. The substantial progress
made against TB brings hope to all
Partners as the work begins to
implement the Plan.
Where poverty stalks the globe,
communities have suffered the losses
due to TB from generation to
generation. The actions set out in the Plan to Stop TB will provide hope. Hope
for the millions of people suffering and dying from TB. Hope for future
generations that our actions will spare them from the ravages of this disease.
This hope is embodied in the Plan's actions for life - actions towards a world free of TB.
