It stands as the sixth most common cancer among women globally. The objective of this study is to outline Malaysia’s progress toward cervical cancer elimination by 2030, aligned with WHO 90-70-90 targets.

Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: Population growth has intensified the nation’s vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change. The demand for water, food, energy, and healthcare services increases as the population increases, placing pressure on natural resources and infrastructure. Climate change resulted in increased prevalence of vector-borne diseases (e.g., dengue and malaria), water- and food-borne infections, respiratory diseases associated with air pollution and haze, and heat-related morbidity and mortality, thus increase the demand for healthcare services. Conclusion, population growth intensifies vulnerability to climate-related health impacts, placing greater demands on public health systems. Strengthening adaption strategies, enhance surveillance system, and intersectoral collaboration is essential to ensure a resilient health system capable of protecting communities in a changing climate.

Prevalence and associated factors of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) among manufacturing workers in Malaysia: a secondary data analysis of NODiP 2023-2025
Item Type: Scientific Poster
Editor:
Year: 00/11/2025
Abstract: WRMSDs are a major global occupational health issue, causing 159M YLDs and 162M DALYs (2021). In Malaysia, MSDs contribute 86,340 YLDs and 112,378 DALYs, yet remain underreported despite being the second most common occupational disease. The manufacturing sector (23% of GDP) accounts for 40.4% of WRMSDs cases, driven by awkward posture, static loading, force exertion, and repetitive tasks. Global prevalence ranges 25-46% commonly affecting the shoulders, back, neck, and wrists. The objectives of this study are to determine the prevalence of WRMSDs among manufacturing workers in Malaysia and to identify individual, occupational biomechanical, and organisational factors associated with WRMSDs. Conlcusion, WRMSDs affected 8,7% of manufacturing workers, with force exertion, static posture, and limited OSH information emerging as key modifiable risks. Strengthening ergonomic controls and OSH comuunication, supported by improved national surveillance systems, is essential to reduce the WRMSDs burden in Malaysia’s manufacturing sector.

Abstract: Food security is a global issue that affects both developed and developing countries, including Malaysia. In Malaysia, this problem is closely linked to poverty, especially among B40 households and vulnerable communities. Socioeconomic factors such as income, location, cost of living, and nutritional literacy are key determinants of food security. Inequality in access to nutritious food can affect a country's social well-being, health, and human capital development. In conclusion, a multi-dimensional approach that encompasses policy, community, sustainable agriculture, education, and integrated governance is urgently needed. With strategic investments in R&D, technology, and community education, Malaysia can reduce import dependence; ensure access to healthy food for all; and generate sustainable social and economic well-being.

Abstract: The PEKERTI program was introduced by the Ministry of Women, Family and Community Development (KPWKM) through the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) starting in 2009. Its main purpose is to produce individuals who are knowledgeable and have positive attitudes in reproductive and social health aspects. The National Reproductive and Social Health Education Policy and Action Plan (PEKERTI) 2022-2025 has improved the PEKERTI program until introducing the National PEKERTI program in 2025. The objective of the study is to measure the effectiveness of the program using the 4-stage Kirkpatrick Model. In conclusion, the program is effective in increasing knowledge, confidence, and commitment, but the effect is still moderate. Future focus is to increase involvement, satisfaction and interactive activities for better learning effects. Follow-up interventions after the program can close the gap between knowledge and practice (confidence & commitment).
