In 2017 the ministry had recorded that 24 provinces in Indonesia remained classified as "Rabies endemic" (FAO The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO-UN) has claimed that Rabies remains a "serious threat worldwide with 55,000 deaths per year and more than 50 percent are in Asia" (FAO It is beyond doubt that Indonesia is definitely one of the countries in Asia struggling to free itself from rabies Read also: Five Died of Rabies in Dompu, West Nusa Tenggara Considering the serious nature of this ongoing threat of rabies in Indonesia through its representative office in the country has been maintaining collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture since 2011 the FAO worked with the ministry to conduct a rabies prevention and control program in the islands of Bali as rabies outbreaks have occurred in certain areas of the province that shares sea borders with the popular resort island of Bali The rabies outbreak has reportedly occurred in Dompu District the FAO worked with the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture and Dompu district government to train animal health officers to control rabies outbreak in the district According to FAO Representative in Indonesia Stephen Rudgard the rabies outbreak in Dompu District that the local authorities reported had killed five people showed the importance of capacity building for the related authorities The outbreak of rabies in Dompu was unfortunate but it demonstrated the need to develop capacities within the local government to detect and respond to a priority disease Rudgard remarked in a press statement made available to Antara on Feb 8 Head of Dompu District`s Livestock and Animal Health Services Zainal Arifin was quoted as saying that there had been 544 dog bite cases from potential rabies vector animals between late 2018 and early February 2019 the Ministry of Agriculture`s Directorate General of Livestock and Animal Health Services (DGLAHS) has taken immediate actions to control rabies outbreak in the district The directorate has dispatched a joint veterinary team to conduct investigations and immediate vaccination of dogs against rabies and convened a vaccination training for the district`s livestock and human health officers The vaccination training was co-organized by the DGLAHS and the Emergency Center for Transboundary Animal Diseases of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO ECTAD) The two parties also held a training on the Procedures for Integrated Bite Case Management to enhance the knowledge and hone the skills of officers to prevent and control rabies in Sumbawa Island whose residents suffer from the impact of rabies outbreak the capital city of West Nusa Tenggara Province are currently under the threat of rabies as well the city government`s agricultural officers conducted a canine rabies elimination program the local residents` demand for eliminating wild dogs tends to increase amid a real threat of rabies outbreak in the city`s administrative areas "We can receive up to three requests from the local residents for canine rabies elimination in a day," Head of the Mataram Agricultural Office H The canine rabies elimination program has been conducted since January 2019 to deal with the dogs that might have been infected by this viral disease adding that some 10 to 20 dogs were handled in every elimination program the implementation of this elimination program was prioritized in crowded places since the wild dogs were often seen hunting for food there they had been declared "free from rabies infection," he noted A cue should be taken from the related authorities on ways to handle rabies cases and how locals bitten by dogs take preventive and curative measures to take care of themselves Head of the Dompu District Health Office Iris Juita Kastianti reiterated the importance of visiting health centers immediately after being bitten by dogs and to complete the vaccination courses people did not immediately report to health posts once they got bitten Even after receiving the first vaccine treatment several patients did not return to the district`s health centers to complete their vaccination courses she pointed out.Kastianti suggested that after visiting a health center a patient receives a mandatory rabies control card but the patient must return to the health centers on specified dates for additional vaccination "If they do not complete the course of vaccination Non-treated patients could die anywhere between two weeks to two years following a bite from a rabid dog," she cautioned She acknowledged that the community members still lack information on rabies There is a pressing need to respond to this unfortunate reality by launching a sustainable public awareness

increased significantly compared to the year before when as many as 1333 people climbed the mountain the number of tourists who climbed Mount Tambora in the last two years continues to increase The number of climbers during the period of January-July 2017 reached 800 people But if added with the number of climbers who commemorated the 72nd anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Indonesia on August 17 as many as 1,000 people climbed the mountain the total climbers of Mount Tambora has reached 1,800 people during January-August we are optimistic that the number of climbers of Mount Tambora in 2017 is more than 2,000 people," he said the increasing number of climbers is due to the effects of the promotion of natural tourist areas by central and local governments the local government also has a routine agenda The West Nusa Tenggara Provincial Government together with Dompu and Bima Regencies hold a Tambora Festival regularly every year This is done in order to increase the number of tourist visits to the island of Sumbawa "It could be that the increasing number of climbers are significantly impacted from the Tambora Festival," Budi said Budi said as the tourist interest of climbing Mount Tambora increases the supporting facilities will be improved The facility that needs attention is a decent retreat for climbers The location must be equipped with facilities of bathing The effort to build and organize the climbing route is done by BTNT together with the Nusa Tenggara Barat Tourism Office and Dompu and Bima Districts "We have learnt from the current condition of Rinjani to not let the national park become a garbage dump by climbers," said Budi Tambora National Park is located in Dompu and Bima Regencies 6 Birth Control Methods Covered by BPJS
