Indonesia strives to live up to its obligation to fulfill children’s rights. This obligation is also shown in the international commitment agreed upon during the 27th UNGASS (United Nations General Assembly for the Special Session on Children ) meeting. The UNGASS produced the document “A World Fit For Children” which outlines basic standards on child welfare and protection. Recognizing that the law enforcement remains one of the biggest challenges in Indonesia, so I’ve dedication my mission to assistance and supported the Indonesian government program to give a world fit of children.

Coughs, colds, sore throats and runny noses are common and usually no cause for alarm. However, a new strain of influenza has emerged in birds that in very rare cases can affect humans. If it’s not properly controlled there are concerns that one day it will be able to spread more easily among humans.

Indonesia reported its first case of H5N1 infection in poultry in Pekalongan and Tangerang Regencies in August 2003, and the first human case In Indonesia occurred in July 2005 in Tangerang Regency. At present the H5N1 virus does not spread easily between birds and humans, or between humans and humans. However, the continuous occurrence of H5N1 in birds and humans has raised the possibility that a new, fully-transmissible virus infecting humans could emerge, with the potential to start a worldwide pandemic. The Government of Indonesia, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), UNICEF, and other international and domestic partners are working together to control the H5N1 virus and prevent a human pandemic. (Source: WHO)

What is Avian Flu?

Avian influenza (bird flu) is an infectious disease caused by the type A strains of the influenza virus. These are mainly found in birds and poultry. The H5N1 virus is a highly pathogenic strain of avian influenza virus, which is primarily causes disease in birds and poultry.

Seorang anak laki-laki, berusia 3 tahun, pada bulan February 2008, menjadi korban ke 105 yang meninggal akibat keganasan virus flu burung. Anak tersebut meninggal setelah menderita sakit dengan gejala demam, batuk dan sesak nafas. Ia dirawat selama beberapa hari di RS Persahabatan, Jakarta Timur sampai tutup usianya. Hasil laboratorium menunjukkan darahnya telah terinfeksi virus H5N1 yang lebih dikenal dengan virus flu burung. Virus yang di dapatkan dari lingkungan sekitar rumah tinggalnya yang berdekatan dengan tempat pemotongan ayam.
Saat ini jumlah kasus flu burung di Indonesia tercatat paling banyak di dunia, yakni hampir lebih dari 130 kasus, dengan korban terbanyak adalah anak-anak.

Merebaknya flu burung (Avian Influenza), penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus influenza yang biasanya menjangkiti unggas dan mamalia, sudah mulai menyebar dan meresahkan masyarakat. Fakta empiris menunjukkan bahwa penyakit ini telah memakan korban di berbagai negara, termasuk Indonesia.

Untuk mengatasi hal itu, pemerintah dan masyarakat dunia berusaha dengan berbagai cara, mencegah, mengobati, memusnahkan dan menciptakan kondisi ”sehat” agar flu burung tidak menyebar, tak terkecuali melalui jalur pendidikan.
Jalur pendidikan adalah jalur yang sangat efektif untuk mencegah merebaknya penyakit flu burung. Melalui pendidikan, masyarakat, khususnya peserta didik dipahamkan tentang apa, mengapa dan bagaimana mengatasi flu burung.

Dinas Kesehatan bersama masyarakat berusaha bersama-sama untuk mensosilisasikan adanya virus flu burung yang mematikan ini. Banyak masyarakat yang belum menyadari bahaya virus flu burung ini dan pentingnya mencegah penyakit ini.

Masih banyak kita temui masyarakat lingkungan sekitar kita yang senang memelihara unggas tetapi kurang peduli terhadap perawatan unggas maupun penyediaan kandang yang baik. Hal ini harus kita tindaklanjuti bersama.

Menyisipkan “ Tanggap Flu Burung “ dalam pembelajaran merupakan salah satu sarana yang efektif untuk mengenalkan bahayanya penyebaran virus flu burung kepada anak-anak. Pengenalan virus flu burung kepada anak-anak diharapkan dapat sedikit menambah wawasan kepada mereka pada khususnya dan pada akhirnya dapat sampai kepada orang tua, keluarga, dan masyarakat sekitar. Sekolah sebagai salah satu tangan panjang dari pemerintah diharapkan mampu untuk ikut mensosialisasikan tanggap flu burung ini kepada masyarakat melalui pembelajaran yang diberikan kepada anak-anak didik.

Kita tentu saja tidak ingin melihat masyarakat luas ini terjangkit virus flu burung yang semakin hari selalu bertambah kasusnya. Oleh karena itu dinas pendidikan Propinsi Jawa Tengah bekerja sama dengan UNICEF mengajak kepada sekolah untuk bersama-sama mensosialisasikan “Tanggap Flu Burung”

MARI KITA MENCEGAH FLU BURUNG
TANGAN KITA PENCEGAH (TANGGAP)
FLU BURUNG.



Berikan kepada anak-anak upaya perlindungan sedini mungkin. Negara, pemerintah, keluarga dan orangtua wajib mengusahakan agar anak yang lahir terhindar dari penyakit yang mengancam kelangsungan hidup, dan/atau menimbulkan kecacatan. Upaya pemerintah melalui sosialisasi TANGGAP Flu Burung bagi peserta didik tersebut adalah upaya dalam memberikan perlindungan bagi anak, agar anak dapat tumbuh berkembang secara optimal dalam kesehatan jasmani dan rohani.

Flu burung atau Avian influensa adalah penyakit yang menular yang disebabkan oleh virus influensa tipe A subtipe H5N1 yang umumnya ditemukan pada unggas dan burung.Virus H5N1 dapat dikenali pada unggas seperti ayam dengan gejala antara lain jengger unggas berwarna kebiru-biruan, ayam tampak seperti mengantuk, kemudian di mulutnya keluar lendir
Virus ini dapat menular melalui udara ataupun kontak melalui makanan dan sentuhan. Virus flu burung hidup dalam saluran pencernaan unggas. Kuman ini kemudian dikeluarkan bersama kotoran , dan infeksi akan terjadi bila orang mendekatinya. Penularan diduga terjadi dari kotoran secara oral atau melalui saluran pernafasan. Belum ada kejadian penularan virus flu burung terjadi antar manusia. Kita harus waspada terhadap virus ini sebelum virus ini mematikan kita. Namun demikian virus ini akan mati dalam suhu yang tinggi yaitu 600 derajat celcius selama 30 menit.

Gejala flu burung hampir sama dengan gejala flu biasa. Gejala yang dirasakan adalah adanya batuk, sakit tenggorokan, demam tinggi, sakit kepala, sakit otot, dan bahkan sampai sesak nafas. Jika sudah parah bisa berkembang menjadi pneumonia dimana mungkin akan terjadi sesak nafas dan gagal pernafasan. Apabila sudah mulai ada gejala awal, kita mesti waspada apakah sebelumnya kita pernah kontak dengan unggas yang sakit, atau pernah membersihkan kandang unggas. Jika tidak ingin terjadi hal yang lebih mengkhawatirkan segeralah ke puskesmas atau rumah sakit terdekat untuk memeriksakan diri.

Banyak hal yang harus kita lakukan untuk mencegah flu burung. Tangan kita adalah kunci utamanya. Jika berhubungan dengan unggas, kotoran unggas, kandang unggas, makanan unggas, maka harus segera cuci tangan dengan sabun sampai bersih.

Hal-hal yang harus kita lakukan adalah sebagai berikut :

  1. Menjaga kebersihan lingkungan ( khususnya kandang ayam dan burung )
  2. Menjaga kebersihan diri dengan selalu mencuci tangan dengan sabun.
  3. Menjauhkan kandang unggas dan burung dengan tempat tinggal manusia.
  4. Gunakan penutup hidung dan sarung tangan jika akan membersihkan kandang atau menanam tanaman dengan pupuk kandang.
  5. Jangan membuang kotoran ayam, jeroan, bulu ayam di sembarang tempat. Bakar dan pendamlah dalam tanah.
  6. Bersihkan makanan ternak/ burung yang tercecer di tanah, agar tidak mengundang burung liar datang.
  7. Bila memasak daging cucilah sampai bersih dan masak beberapa saat dengan suhu yang cukup tinggi.

Selain tersebut di atas yang paling penting disosialisasikan kepada anak-anak adalah :

  1. Jangan bermain dengan unggas
  2. Selalu cuci tangan dengan sabun
  3. Laporkan kepada orang tua / ketua RT / Kepala Desa bila ada kejadian unggas yang mati.

Mari kita dukung bersama upaya menyelenggarakan perlindungan bagi anak-anak, agar anak-anak terjamin dalam pemenuhan hak-haknya agar dapat tumbuh, berkembang dan berpartisipasi secara optimal sesuai dengan harkat dan martabat kemanusiaan, serta mendapat perlindungan dari kekerasan dan diskriminasi, demi terwujudnya anak Indonesia yang berkualitas, berakhlak mulia dan sejahtera. Semua itu adalah tugas dan tanggungjawab kita bersama, negara, pemerintah, masyarakat, keluarga dan orangtua.
