The Republic of the Union of Myanmar Ministry of Health and Sports 45th MYANMAR HEALTH RESEARCH CONGRESS Programme and Abstracts 9-13 January 2017 The Republic of the Union of Myanmar Ministry of Health and Sports 45th MYANMAR HEALTH RESEARCH CONGRESS Programme and Abstracts 9-13 January 2017 FOREWORD The Ministry of Health and Sports will conduct the 45th Myanmar Health Research Congress this year, with the main theme “Improving the Nutrition Status and Reduction of Stunting in Myanmar Children”. In the world today, 161 million children less than 5 years old are stunted and at least 51 million are severely or moderately wasted, while another 42 million children are overweight or obese. In addition, there are several billion children and adults who are deficient in vitamins or minerals which can lead to anaemia, blindness, cognitive impairment, greater susceptibility to many diseases, resulting in higher mortality. These conditions are linked to a loss in national productivity. This is indeed an opportune time to focus towards nutrition, as action is urgently required towards nutrition, in the path moving forward in achieving the sustainable development goals (SDGs). SDG 2 clearly states "End hunger, achieve food security, improved nutrition and sustainable agriculture". Nutrition must be understood as both the input and outcome of the SDGs. Good nutrition leads to higher earnings and mental acuity which in turn supports macroeconomic and societal growth. Poor nutrition impairs productivity, which has a huge negative impact on national growth. Without appropriate investments, poor nutrition persists, contributing to the global burden of disease and impaired quality of life. In this sense, malnutrition poses an often invisible, impediment to achieving all SDG targets. A collective effort is required to promote best practices across the food system focused on the needs of the most nutritionally vulnerable population. This combined effort must include all stakeholders and sustain progress for future generations. It is thought that the SDGs will be attainable if nutrition is put front and centre of the sustainable development agenda. The program this year, for five whole days include 103 research paper presentations, 56 poster presentations, eleven scientific symposia and one scientific talk. The topics not only include nutrition but also touch upon important topics such as molecular diagnostics in point-of-care testing, accreditation of laboratories for international recognition, updates on various cancers, travel medicine, hospital waste management and in the area of infectious diseases, the globally prominent topics such as multiple drug resistant tuberculosis and its control and malaria elimination. The immense effort which have been put into these research papers, posters and symposia are to be highly congratulated. We sincerely hope that the Myanmar Health Research Congress, a common research platform which allows researchers and academicians to share knowledge, views and updated information, ultimately leads to the formulation of strategies, plans and policies required to make Myanmar, a healthier and more prosperous nation.
