Chief Editor’s NoteThe image of traditional medicine has been tarnished by the incidences of sexual and ‘hanky panky’ services offered in the traditional massage centre, reflexology centre and even in Spa, as reported in national newspapers and TV news recently. The worse scenario is, the same operators get caught and fined for more than once for doing the same activities. Does our government’s intention to upgrading these traditional and complementary medicines to the same level or at least at par with the modern medicine gone to waste?

Maybe these unprofessional massage centres need to be banned and the operators have to faced a heavy punishment and only premises that provide therapeutic services are permitted to operate. With this, only customer with true ailments and health problems will come to the premise to seek remedy, and not a customer who wants pleasure and enjoyment!

As we all know, we are facing with critical social problems now. Lots of unethical acts are happening all over the place and as a result, many babies were thrown in the drainage, bin and other places. Perhaps if there is no premises offering unethical services, at least the problems may be reduced if we can’t solve all of it. Think about it... Thank you very much..

Mohd Hadi Mohd Zin

Imej perubatan tradisional kini tercalar dengan terpampang dengan jelasnya baru-baru ini di dada akhbar utama negara serta media massa tentang khidmat seks dan urutan batin yang diberikan di premis perubatan tradisional, refleksologi dan juga Spa. Ada di antara pengusaha premis berkenaan telah pun dicekup dan didenda tetapi masih menjalankan aktiviti yang sama. Apakah makna semua ini? Adakah hasrat kerajaan ingin menaik tarafkan rawatan tradisional dan komplementari setanding dengan rawatan moden hanya perbuatan yang sia-sia?

Mungkin sepatutnya premis urutan yang tidak professional ini perlu diharamkan dan diberi hukuman yang berat ke atas pengusahanya dan hanya membenarkan premis yang menawarkan rawatan terapeutik sahaja untuk beroperasi. Dengan ini pelanggan yang betul-betul mempunyai masalah sahaja akan datang ke premis perubatan tradisional ini, dan bukannya pelanggan yang ingin cari keseronokan duniawi semata-mata!

Seperti yang kita ketahui, negara kini mengalami masalah gejala sosial yang amat serius. Berlakunya maksiat di merata tempat dan akhirnya banyak anak-anak yang tidak berdosa dibuang di dalam longkang, tong sampah dan merata tempat lagi yang tidak layak bagi mereka. Dengan tiadanya tempat maksiat ini, diharapkan masalah ini dapat dikurangkan walaupun tidak dapat diselesaikan seratus peratus. Renungkanlah…

Sekian, terima kasih..

Good Practice Guidelines (GPG) on Acupuncture and Malay Massage

Two Good Practice Guidelines were developed from the Working Paper on Development of Good Practice Guideline for Acupuncture and Malay Massage in Chronic Pain and Post Stroke Management for Traditional and Complementary (T&CM) Unit at the Integrated Hospitals, which was presented to the Standing Committee, in May 2009. The workings of the guideline were based on data analyzed on the experience of the first three T&CM Units, in which, the following improvements were identified;1. The need for a proper and systematic documentation.2. The need for a standardized approach for the assessment of

patients.3. The need for a standardized treatment plan for a similar

condition at all the integrated hospitals.

Thus, the purpose of these Good Practice Guidelines is to guide the T&CM practitioners to;1. Have a proper and standardized record keeping.2. Have a standardized approach to assessment and treatment

of patients.3. Maintain an ethical and professional conduct at all times.

The GPGs have been approved for publication.

Traditional and Complementary Medicine Practice Guideline on BekamA new Traditional and Complementary Medicine Practice Guideline on Bekam is being developed. It is still in the editing process and will be published soon.

Issues and challenges on e-PENGAMAL

In November 2008, the honorable Minister of Health, Dato’ Seri Dr Liow Tiong Lai had launched the e-PENGAMAL system during the 1st Asia Pacific Conference on Traditional & Complementary Medicine

in Kuala Lumpur. This system was developed to help the local traditional & complementary medicine (T&CM) practitioners to register online which is more convenient, easier and faster. Since launching, several roadshows and briefings had been conducted to promote this system to the local T&CM practitioners throughout the country. From the e-PENGAMAL databases, many information can be retrieved and analysed to help us in developing guidelines, standard

and curriculum to further promote T&CM practices. From time to time, T&CMD had taken the initiative to assist the practitioners by conducting roadshows with hands-on demonstrations and

registration with the e-PENGAMAL. Until December 2009, practitioners who had difficulty accessing to computer or Internet were allowed to register manually by filling up the registration form. Beside that,

T&CMD and the vendor are upgrading the e-PENGAMAL system to ensure that the T&CM practitioners can easily register through the e-PENGAMAL. Log on to http://tcmonline.moh.gov.my

ISU DAN CABARAN e-PENGAMAL

Pada bulan November 2008, YB Menteri Kesihatan, Dato’ Seri Dr Liow Tiong Lai telah melancarkan sistem e-PENGAMAL semasa berlangsungnya 1st Asia Pacific Conference on Traditional & Complementary Medicine di Kuala Lumpur. Inisiatif untuk membangunkan sistem ini adalah untuk membolehkan pengamal perubatan tradisional dan komplementari (PT&K) tempatan untuk menjalankan transaksi secara atas talian bagi tujuan pendaftaran dengan mudah dan cepat. Susulan dari pelancaran sistem ini, taklimat e-PENGAMAL telah dijalankan di seluruh negara untuk mempromosi sistem ini.

Daripada database e-PENGAMAL, banyak informasi boleh diperoleh dan dianalisa bagi membantu dalam membangunkan garispanduan, standard dan kurikulum untuk mempromosi lagi PT&K ini. Dari semasa ke semasa, BPTK telah mengambil inisiatif untuk membantu pengamal PT&K dengan membuat demonstrasi dan pendaftaran terus semasa berlangsungnya taklimat yang dijalankan di seluruh negara.

Selain itu, pengamal yang menghadapi masalah tiada kemudahan komputer atau capaian internet dibenarkan untuk mendaftar secara manual dengan mengisi borang pendaftaran sehingga Disember 2009. Selain itu, BPTK dan pihak vendor sentiasa menambahbaik sistem e-PENGAMAL ini untuk memastikan pengamal PT&K dapat mendaftar dengan mudah menggunakan sistem ini. Layari http://tcmonline.moh.gov.my

ACTIVITIES OF CHARITY & SOCIAL CLUB, T&CMD

Until May 2010, the Charity & Social Club had organized four charities and welfare activities to strengthen the bond and build team work between the T&CMD staff. During the new year, we had organized new year celebration, where we had Yassin recitation and a religious talk. In February, we had organized a motivational camp at the Darul Kifayah orphanage in Batu Caves. This half-day programme was filled with motivational and health awareness talk from the invited speakers. The students also had their health checked during the camp. This programme had a very good response from the T&CMD staff as well as the students at the complex. Without the support from the staff at the Complex itself, Klinik Kesihatan Batu and also the speakers in this programme would not succeed. Also, in Mac we had organized a bowling tournament for our Division where staff and their families and friends were invited to join this event. Recently in April, we had organized a feast to celebrate staffs’ birthdays as well as the newborns and also a farewell party for our staff who were leaving.

FORUMFORUM

Experiences Working in T&CM Unit of Putrajaya Hospital

Many rolled their eyes in disbelief when I introduce myself working as a pharmacist in Traditional and Complementary Medicine (T&CM) Unit. Do I perform acupuncture treatment? Or am I a masseur? Indeed, it’s quite a new unit in several government hospitals.

Well, basically my workplace is surrounded by herbs. These herbs are prescribed to cancer patients as adjunct treatment to improve immune system and improve cancer related symptoms such as nausea, vomit, loss of appetite, etc. As the name of unit imply, this treatment is to COMPLEMENT conventional medicine of cancer intervention (e.g. surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy), NOT TO REPLACE IT.

As in any other normal outpatient pharmacy, I screen, fill and dispense prescriptions; the difference is that I’m dealing with Chinese herbs. These herbs are prescribed according to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and diagnosis. Point to ponder: how can a Western trained pharmacist like me appreciate Traditional Chinese Medicine. T&CM Division, MOH foreseen this issue and decided to send me for a 3 months attachment in T&CM hospital. (I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude for the necessary foundation). In Western medicine, polypharmacy is not encouraged. But in Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s a practice that a few Chinese herbs are being prescribed together for a single indication, for its synergistic effect. At least, with the limited knowledge from the attachment, I can counsel patients regarding the herbs’ indication, administration and how does it work.

Nonetheless, I also monitor the patients’ response and progress. Although the herbs are prescribed within the dosage recommendation, but different body constitution respond to the same dosage differently. E.g. Angelica sinensis (Dang Gui)

Prepared by: Ms. Wan Najbah Nik Nabil

is usually for tonifying blood, regulating blood circulation, etc. At same dosage, patient A may feel comfortable, but patient B feels heaty and uneasy. Following patients’ response, dosage adjustment is recommended.

With the frequent follow-up (i.e. once a fortnight or once a month), good rapport with patients is developed. Thus, the patients are more honest regarding their preference (of food intake, taste) and other supplement intake, which affect the herbs absorption and action. Some patients even admitted that they can’t tolerate the herb’s bitterness. So to improve patients’ compliance, this piece information is important to be conveyed to herbal practitioner.

It is common for Malaysian to self-medicate, most without adequate knowledge, especially with traditional herbs. Take Ginseng (Panax Ginseng) for example. It is a popular herb that it is widely available as supplement, in capsule form. While it is being extensively promoted for fatigue, weakness and etc, it also has contraindication. Ginseng can increase blood pressure, thus people with high blood pressure are not suitable to consume Ginseng. And not to mention, it also interacts (not compatible) with some herbs.

I also need to do the essential clerking tasks like recording the usage, monitoring and ordering the stock of Chinese herbs and consumables. That’s more or less my daily jobs description. Put that aside, what is more crucial is that why do Western medicine practitioners need to venture into herbs and complementary medicine world?. So, last but not least, let’s put our thoughts together on these points:

Are you aware that in many developed countries, 70% to 80% of the population has used some form of alternative or complementary medicine? (information from WHO Factsheet). Have you encounter patients who seek your advice on herbs and complementary medicine? How do you answer it? Would you prefer the patients to go to uncertified practitioner or direct selling salesman for information on complementary medicine (which are usually bias and profit orientated)?
