PROGRAMME
1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 Thalassemia and abnormal heamoglobins are the most common genetic disorders world wide. It is estimated that over 300,000 affected children are born each year, most with sickle cell disease, while 60,000 70,000 are born with beta thalassemia major.1.2 In Thalassemia, the normal in formation of red blood cells is affected. This is due to reduced synthesis of globin chains resulting in ineffective erythropoesis, chronic hemolysis and anemia.1.3 Defective genes can be inherited from either parents. There are two main types of thalassaemia, alpha or beta. Clinically, it can manifest as thalassaemia minor (carrier) or thalassaemia major (patient). Most thalassemia minors or carriers are not aware of their genetic status because the clinical signs are not well defined. They will only know after undergoing blood tests. Likewise a child with thalassaemia major will appear normal at birth. However, the signs and symptoms of anemia will begin to develop from 3 months onwards and will progress chronically. 1.4 Although being carrier of the thalassaemia trait has no adverse health effects, if a carrier has a child with another carrier, every pregnancy will have a 25% risk of producing a thalassaemia major, 50% risk of producing a thalassaemia monir or carrier and 25% risk of producing a normal child. 1.5 Patients of thalassaemia major require, life-long blood transfusion to maintain haemoglobin levels of above 10 gm%. Patients also require regular chelation therapy to prevent the effects of iron accumulation, which has to be administered daily in high doses. Psychosocial support is important to help patients and parents cope with the physical demands of the disease. Provision of multidisciplinary care will prevent and manage complications in vital organs such as endocrine glands, liver and heart. The quality and quantity of treatment is directly linked to the patients quality and length of life. 1.6 Fatalities due to untreated or inadequately treated thalassaemia is high. There are currently no local data on survival studies in Malaysia, but early deaths due to complications are not uncommon observations in the local hospital practice. International studies on survival in thalassaemia major showed that survival ranges from 15 29 years for patients treated at various specialist centres in Europe. The major cause of death is due to cardiomyopathy secondary to iron accumulation in the heart. The other significant causes of death are infection and liver disease. 1.7 Thalassaemia in general constitutes a major public health problem as seen in countries with high prevalence of the condition. Developing a prevention programme is important in reducing the birth of blood transfusion dependent thalassaemia, in curbing the cost implications in the provision of optimal care for patients and in alleviating life-long socio economic burden on patients, families and government. The appropriate strategy for initiating any thalassaemia prevention programme depends on the local situation which includes cultural, religious and ethical practices. Therefore an effective thalassaemia service delivery is by integrating the services at all levels of health care so as to take full advantage of the existing resources and maximize efficiency. 1.8 Prevention is cost effective. Experiences from Cyprus, a country which has successfully reduced the thalassaemia prevalence indicated the cost of 8 weeks prevention was equivalent to the cost of 1 week treatment for thalassaemia population. Cost benefit analysis in the United Kingdom, Sardinia, Greece and Canada have shown that the cost of a nationwide thalassaemia prevention programme are trivial compared with the benefits of reducing treatment cost. In United Kingdom, the estimated cost for comprehensive treatment of beta thalassaemia major ranges from 188,000 pounds to 226,000 pounds. 1.9 The approach to dealing with the thalassaemia problem is to prevent and control the birth of new cases. The World Health Organization recommended a comprehensive strategy combining best possible patient care with prevention through community information, carrier screening and counseling. In societies where prenatal diagnosis os available and possible, high risk couples request prenatal diagnosis and this approach greatly reduces the numbers of affected births.
2. THALASSAEMIA SITUATION IN MALAYSIA
2.1 Thalassaemia is the commonest inherited blood disorder in Malaysia. Even though the carrier rate is only at the level of 3-5%, intervention is important because of the impact of the disease and its treatment on the patients, families and nation. There are an estimated number of 120 350 babies born with thalassaemia major each year, and at one time there are more than 3,200 registered transfusion dependent patients. This number will cumulatively increase every year posing enormous psychological, social and economic constraints not only to patients and families, but also to government in ensuring optimal care.2.2 In 2004, the Ministry of Health established the Thalassaemia Prevention and Control Programme with the objective to reduce morbidity and mortality among the thalassaemia patients; to reduce the prevalence of blood transfusion dependent thalassaemia cases and to create awareness regarding thalassaemia. These will be achieved through strategies such as optimal patient care, adequate and safe blood supply, screening for carries and provision of genetic counseling, provision of prenatal diagnosis, adequate laboratory support, health promotion, development of a National Thalassaemia Patient Registry, interagency collaboration and cooperation, and research and development. 3. THE NATIONAL THALASSAEMIA SCREENING PROGRAMME
3.1 OBJECTIVES
3.1.1 General objective
To identify carriers of thalassaemia in order to assess the risk of an individual having a affected child and to provide information on the options available to avoid such eventuality. 3.1.2 Specific objectives a) To strengthen screening services for thalassaemia among siblings and other family members of index case (cascade screening)
b) To provide screening for thalassaemia in targeted population
c) To provide public education on thalassaemia
d) To provide genetic counseling services at primary health care level
e) To upgrade and expand screening and diagnostic laboratory services
f) To plan and develop prenatal diagnostic services
3.2 STRATEGIES
3.2.1 Strengthening of cascade screening of index case
Cascade screening, also known as inductive screening or extended family testing refers to the heterozygotes testing of relatives of known cases and carriers of thalassaemia. In many countries, this approach has shown to be feasible and has resulted in high pick up rate. It is a powerful means of improving the effiency of carrier identification. This family centred approach is currently being practiced in hospitals providing management of thalassaemia patients in Malaysia. For every case of thalassaemia major detected it is recommended these relatives be tested for carrier status:
Parents and siblings
Uncles and aunties from both fathers and mothers sides
First cousins from both fathers and mothers sides
Voluntary testing of relatives can be done at the respective hospital where the index case is managed or referred to health clinic of choice. It should be free of charge. Relatives identified as carriers should be given genetic counseling. 3.2.2 Target screening
Target screening is restricted to a particular population group or groups. All screening activities should be carried out on a voluntary basis and free of charge.
i) Adolescents and young adults screening
Screening will be offered to all adolescents and young adults, preferably before they are married. In many countries screening of school students above the age of 16 years has been successful without any apparent psychological or social harm, and despite the time lapse between screening, information and pregnancy, the information was well conserved and resulted in testing of the partner. Those detected as carriers will have their parents and siblings screened. Settings that will be utilized for screening are :
Schools school settings have the advantage of reaching a majority of the population and is able to provide increased options to those identified as carriers (i.e. not to marry another carrier.) Screening in schools will be limited to high prevalent areas and will be expanded in phases in tandem with the capacity and capability of primary health care services, namely the school health and laboratory services. A national roll out will be done incrementally.
Camps adolescents and young people in camps such as the Pusat Latihan Khidmat Negara camps and others will be screened.
Health clinics adolescents attending Adolescent Health Clinics will be screened.
ii) Comprehensive care for pregnant women
Women detected for anaemia in early pregnancy will be investigated for thalassaemia. It is to ensure proper and evident-based management of patients, while preparing them on current and subsequent pregnancies. 3.2.3 Training
Genetic counseling is a process of providing information to at-risk individuals, couples an families about a genetic condition in particular information about the diagnosis, recurrence risk, burden of the disorder and the various reproductive options together with helping the families coming to terms with the issues in non-directed manner. A National Training Module for Thalassaemia Counsellors has been developed, and regular training has been conducted since 2006. Teams of health care providers at every state comprising of pediatricians, obstetricians, physicians, family medicine specialists, school health team members, medical assistants, nurses and counselors have been trained using the above module. Echo training is encouraged at state and district level.
3.2.4 Health promotion
Health education and promotion have taken careful reference to local cultural, religious and social factors. Printed materials in 4 main languages are available in Malaysia and there has been initiatives to develop them in dialects for minority groups in Sabah. A national plan of action has been developed since 2005 which include amongst others, the development of health education materials for use in hospitals, health clinics and public campaigns and the recognition of the International Thalassaemia Day as an official national event for public and professional education. The latter activity enhanced collaboration with academic, professional bodies and non government organizations such as thalassaemia societies. Since 2006, thalassaemia is included in the in-service training of science teachers throughout Malaysia.
3.2.5 Strengthening of laboratory services for screening and diagnosis
The parameter to identify carriers is the means corpuscular haemoglobin or MCH, where it is agreed that a values of less than 27 picogram indicates the need for further investigation. Health clinics providing screening services are equipped with hematology analyzers and trained medical laboratory technicians. At the secondary level, automated High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Gel Electrophoresis are made available at designated hospitals laboratories, namely Hospital Pulau Pinang, Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah Alor Setar, Hospital Kuala Lumpur, Hospital Sultanah Aminah Johor Bahru, Hospital Tg. Afzan Kuantan, Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II Kota Bahru, Hospital Queen Elizabeth Kota Kinabalu and Hospital Umum Sarawak. Futher confirmation can be made at Institute for Medical Research and Hospital Kuala Lumpur where molecular studies are available.
3.2.6 Development of prenatal diagnostics services
Prenatal diagnosis is any diagnostic procedure used to determine whether a foetus has a genetic abnormality. There is a need to strengthen prenatal diagnosis services for provide options for families with thalassaemia.
3.2.7 Development of monitoring and surveillance system

APPENDIX D GARISPANDUAN SAMBUTAN HARI TALASEMIA ANTARABANGSA
PENDAHULUAN
Talasemia adalah sejenis penyakit genetik yang mengganggu pembentukan sel-sel darah merah yang normal. Pesakit talasemia menghasilkan sel darah merah yang mudah pecah atau musnah dalam darah. Kekurangan sel darah merah yang normal akan menyebabkan pesakit tersebut sering kelihatan pucat disebabkan paras hemoglobin yang rendah.
Di Malaysia, talasemia merupakan masalah kesihatan yang besar kerana dari beberapa kajian yang telah dijalankan menunjukkan bahawa kadar pembawa gen talasemia adalah di dalam lingkungan 3 hingga 5 peratus atau 1 dalam 20 orang rakyat Malaysia. Dengan itu, dianggarkan seramai 600,000 hingga 1 juta orang rakyat Malaysia adalah pembawa gen ini.
Walau bagaimanapun, talasemia merupakan satu-satunya penyakit genetik yang telah terbukti boleh dicegah dan dikawal sekiranya mendapat sokongan padu daripada masyarakat. Kejayaan program pencegahan dan kawalan talasemia adalah pendidikan kesihatan yang berterusan dengan sokongan dari semua pihak.
Oleh sebab itu, Hari talasemia Antarabangsa akan disambut pada 8 Mei setiap tahun bagi mengukuhkan lagi aktiviti penyebaran maklumat dan pendidikan kesihatan mengenai talasemia serta menyedarkan masyarakat mengenai penyakit ini.
OBJEKTIF
i. Meningkatkan kesedaran dan pengetahuan masyarakat umum mengenai penyakit talasemia, cara pencegahan dan pengawalannya.
ii. Menggalakkan kumpulan sasar menjalani ujian talasemia
iii. Menggalakkan ibubapa member keizinan/kebenaran anak remaja mereka menjalani ujian talsemia.
iv. Mencegah berlakunya diskriminasi terhadap pembawa gen talasemia
v. Mewujudkan rasa tanggungjawab dan tindakan masyarakat terhadap penyakit talasemia di mana setiap individu mempunyai peranan yang perlu dimainkan bagi menyelesaikan masalah ini. AKTIVITI PERINGKAT KEMENTERIAN DAN NEGERI Kumpulan Sasar:
1. Ibubapa 2. Remaja 16 tahun ke atas
3. Golongan dewasa muda
4. Adik-beradik kepada pembawa talasemia
5. Golongan professional
6. Petugas kesihatan
Cadangan Aktivit:
