Approximately one million hectares of forest were ablaze when most of the fires subsided three months later in November. From September, the thick haze due to fine particles suspended in the air from smoke and soot had darkened skies across the region—Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Brunei, southern Thailand and parts of the Philippines. Indonesia declared a state of national emergency in September 1997. The Malaysian Government also declared a state of emergency in Sarawak on Borneo Island on 19 September. All private and public offices and schools in Sarawak were closed and the people advised to stay indoors. An increase in the number of people who required clinic (outpatient) visits or hospital admissions for various haze-related illnesses was reported from Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand. More than 20,000 cases were reported from Malaysia, a surge of 20 percent was recorded in Singapore, and 334 Health Guidelines for Vegetation Fire Events, Lima, Peru, 6-9 October 1998.

National notifiable diseases surveillance system (NNDSS) data in developing countries are usually incomplete, yet the total number of fatal cases reported is commonly used in national priority-setting. Melioidosis, an infectious disease caused by Burkholderia pseudomallei, is largely underrecognized by policy-makers due to the underreporting of fatal cases via the NNDSS. Methods. Collaborating with the Epidemiology Division (ED), Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), we conducted a retrospec- tive study to determine the incidence and mortality of melioidosis cases already identified by clinical microbiology laboratories nationwide. A case of melioidosis was defined as a patient with any clinical specimen culture positive for B.

  • Thailand HIT Case Study
    Thailand HIT Case Study center for health and aging Thongchai Thavichachart, CEO, Thailand Health Information Technology and Policy Lab Center of Excellence for Life Sciences Narong Kasitipradith, President, Thai Medical Informatics Association Summary For over twenty years, both public and private hospitals have been trying to take advantage of the benefits of IT to improve health services in Thailand, yet varying resources and requirements of each institution have made for scattered, unharmonious HIT development throughout the country. The Ministry of Public Health made several attempts over the last ten years to develop a nationwide electronic medical record. However, hospitals responded unenthusiastically to the lack of immediate incentives and perceived benefits for each institution in exchange for the investment that building a common system for data sharing would require. Nevertheless, in 2007 an EMR exchange network remains in development, with the 21st century attempt likely to bring about new success in this area. HIT Adoption At present all 82 government provincial and large private hospitals in Thailand use some form of IT internally to manage drug dispensing, receipts, outpatient card searching, and appointment booking. The electronic medical record exchange system initiative in Thailand currently involves a few public and private institutions with a clear goal of supporting the medical tourism industry. This small but advanced partnership will act as the pilot project to help develop a model for wider coverage and a more comprehensive, farther-reaching system in the future. Hospitals share this information externally through hard copies, such as claims for health insurance. Most hospitals have unique software programs that are designed specifically for their internal use and operate quite comfortably within each institution’s legacy IT systems.
