Abstract Schistosomiasis in Indonesia is endemic only in Napu and Bada highlands in Poso District and Lindu highlands in Sigi District, Central Sulawesi. Schistosomiasis control program has been done since 1982; however, it is not successful yet. The objective of this study was to re-identify the active focus area of O.h. lindoensis and the schistosomiasis control program by multi-sector and community. This study mapped the foci area and designed an action plan for schistosomiasis control by multi-sector in provincial level, Poso District, and Sigi District. The sectors involved are Agency for Regional Development, Regional Institute of Research and Development, Health Services, Agriculture Office, Plantation, and Animal Health Office, Maritime and Fisheries Office, Public Works Office, and Village Empowerment Office. The foci area of O.h. lindoensis were distributed in 16 villages in Napu, with a total of 242 foci area. The schistosomiasis control program by multi-sectors was making water catchment, making new paddy field, irrigation, molluscicide, cleaning foci area, draining, re-use of abandoned paddy field and plantation. There is a need for a regulation about budgeting and environmental management in sub-district and village level to support community participation in cleaning foci area, mass drug treatment, and stool survey.

Treatment outcomes in patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) remains unsatisfactory in the Philippines. To address this, we implemented the use of new anti-TB drugs and novel regimens. The Philippine National Tuberculosis Control Program (NTP) participated in the Bedaquiline (BDQ) Donation Program created by the US Agency for International Development and Janssen. Despite availability of donated medicine, there was a delay in the implementation of BDQ, both under operational research and programme conditions. The main challenges encountered were delayed approval by national and institutional ethics boards; limited experience of the NTP in the conduct of operational research into new drugs; and the lack of confidence of healthcare staff in the use of new and re-purposed anti-TB drugs. Technical assistance from partners and capacity building on clinical management of DR-TB and on pharmacovigilance among health workers were vital in overcoming these challenges. Over a 3-year period (from 2016–2018), 448 patients were initiated on BDQ-based regimens.

The dynamics of mixed marriages governed by the Code of Muslim Personal Laws of the Philippines (Muslim Code) creates variables that sometimes lead to the non-application of the said Code to Shari’ah cases arising from said marriages. This is highlighted in the familiar but controversial case of Bondagjy v. Bondagjy, wherein the Supreme Court of the Philippines did not apply the Muslim Code on the issue of custody of minor children born to a Muslim marriage prior to becoming ‘mixed’ by the conversion of the female party (Muslim convert) to another religion. The article argues that whatever variables are attendant in a specific conflict of rights where the Muslim Code applies, the resolution of said conflict must be in accordance with its provisions or other applicable Muslim laws. This perspective sustains the character of the Muslim Code as the applicable law in each Shari’ah case and disfavours the diminution of said character by the non-application of the Muslim Code. The article further argues that the application of the provisions of the Muslim Code affecting conflict of rights must be reinforced with the requisite good faith and honesty on the part of each party, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, to ensure a just and fair resolution of each Shari’ah case. The article achieves its gist by evaluating how the ‘applicability clause’, the ‘construction and interpretation rules’, and the ‘conflict of provisions rules’ of the Muslim Code operate in the context of and beyond Bondagjy v. Bondagjy and other relevant cases. This critical analysis highlights the present status of the Muslim Code as the initial premise in the formulation of measures that are responsive to and promotive of the role of mixed marriage as a significant avenue for Muslim and non-Muslim relations in the Philippines and other foreign jurisdictions where similar relations exist.

Abstract Schistosomiasis in Indonesia has been found in three endemic areas of Central Sulawesi Province and its control program has long been implemented for more than 35 years, but the transmission has remained unchanged. A new integrated and community based strategy, namely “Bada”was implemented in Lengkeka Village.in 2019. The study aimed to determine the impact of the implementation of Bada model to control schistosomiasis using mixed methods. The Bada model consisted of four actions, namely design of village regulations, formation of schistosomiasis control team, the improvement of capacity for several key persons and integrated schistosomiasis control with various sectors. The results showed the increase of stool collection coverage from 54.59% in 2018 to 71.92% in 2019 and the mass drug administration coverage, from 53% in 2018 to 86.04% in 2019. The snail focci areas were reduced from five to three areas. The schistosomiasis prevalence in human was 0% in 2019. The study also found the increasing of the knowledge, attitude, and practice about schistosomiasis and its prevention of people in the study area.. Based on the results, the Bada model can be considered to be implemented in other schistosomiasis endemic areas, with regard to the local wisdom. Keywords: Schistosomiasis, community empowerment, development of Bada model, Lengkeka, Poso Abstrak Schistosomiasis di Indonesia ditemukan di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah dan upaya pengendalian sudah dilakukan selama lebih dari 35 tahun terakhir, tetapi sampai saat ini penularan masih terjadi. Sebuah strategi baru pengendalian schistosomiasis terintegrasi dan berbasis masyarakat, yang disebut pengembangan model “Bada” diimplementasikan di Desa Lengkeka tahun 2019. Penelitian dilakukan dengan mixed methods Pengembangan tersebut terdiri atas empat kegiatan, yaitu penyusunan peraturan desa, pembentukan tim pengendalian Schistosomiasis desa/Tim Peda’, peningkatan kapasitas dalam pengendalian schistosomiasis melalui beberapa tokoh masyarakat dan program pengendalian Schistosomiasis terintegrasi lintas sektor. Hasil implementasi menunjukkan terjadi penurunan kasus schistosomiasis pada manusia dan hewan mamalia ternak menjadi nol, meningkatkan cakupan pengumpulan tinja manusia, dari 54,59% menjadi 71,92%, juga meningkatkan cakupan pengobatan dari 53% pada tahun 2018 menjadi 86,04% pada tahun 2019. Pengembangan Model Bada dapat menurunkan jumlah daerah fokus dari 5 menjadi 3 daerah fokus, juga menambah pengetahuan, sikap dan perilaku masyarakat secara signifikan. Berdasarkan hasil tersebut Pengembangan Model Bada dapat dipertimbangkan untuk diimplementasikan di daerah endemis schistosomiasis lain di Provinsi Sulawesi Tengah, dengan tetap mempertimbangkan kearifan lokal masingmasing desa.

BACKGROUND: Indonesia has planned a roadmap to eradicate schistosomiasis and achieved the elimination of schistosomiasis by 2025. Through cooperation between the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of National Development Planning or the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas). The roadmap is a reference to plan the shared action multiple sectors, central-regional and communal coordinated by the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas) and Development Planning Agency at Sub-national Level (Bappeda). OBJECTIVE: analyzing cross-sectoral involvement in 2019 in efforts to eradicate schistosomiasis. The research method is to analyze data and information regarding the schistosomiasis control program in 2019. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The data and information in the study came from six Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) in Poso and seven OPDs in Sigi Central Sulawesi. RESULT: This study reveals that, based on the roadmap to eradicate schistosomiasis, mass treatment regarding schistosomiasis for humans is 70-94%; mass medication for livestock is 50%; surveillance on intermediate snails, humans, and animals is 70-94%; 6,000 animals and 49%; the campaigns for behavioral changes and an increase in community participation in 18 villages and multi-sector coordination and intensive integrated supervision is 50%. Meanwhile, public toilets in the focus areas and livestock management have not proceeded. The prevalence of schistosomiasis in humans showed yields of 0.13%, 0%, and 0.0% in the Napu, Bada, and Lindu Plateaus. In addition, the prevalence of schistosomiasis in animals was 3.4% and 2.3% in buffalo and horses. CONCLUSION: Schistosomiasis control in terms of health can reduce the prevalence of schistosomiasis in humans. And schistosomiasis control is not a priority program in terms of agriculture. Who did not build schistosomiasis control programs in 2019 upon good coordination between the central and local governments?
