    When Antimicrobial Resistance Intersects With Chronic Diseases

    Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most pressing threats we face to human health, because it makes diseases much more difficult, if not impossible, to treat. It means the risk of the disease spreading is higher, and thus more severe illness and even death. In a society where much of the population lives with chronic disease, the burden of AMR is even worse and complicates the care for these patients. In conjunction with World Antimicrobial Awareness Week, observed annually from 18th to 24th November every year, we’ll be exploring the challenges of managing AMR when it intersects with chronic diseases with consultant infectious diseases physician Dato’ Dr Suresh Kumar Chidambaram.

    Mind Matters: How Are Refugees in Malaysia Coping?

    Refugees are often at higher risk of developing mental health issues, because of the often traumatic experiences they’ve had fleeing their home country. But their struggles don’t end once they make it to a host country, especially as we see rising xenophobia and policies that aren’t friendly to refugees, as we’ve seen here in Malaysia. So how do all of these circumstances impact their mental health? And what can be done to help refugee communities here? Joining us  is Sarah Ann Chou, clinical psychologist and mental health activity manager with MSF, also known as Doctors Without Borders. She’s here to share more about that and the work that MSF is doing to provide psychosocial support to refugee communities here.

    From Testing to Treatment: A Real-Life Experience And An Expert’s Insights

    What we know of cholesterol comes from sensational headlines about eggs and santan, or the bewildering numbers that appear on a lab report from a screening test.

Sharaad Kuttan, BFM presenter, who recently underwent a cholesterol test, shares his journey of discovering high cholesterol and how he’s facing his diagnosis. Alongside, consultant cardiologist Dr Muhammad Dzafir Ismail from KPJ Damansara Specialist Hospital highlights the role of statins and advanced therapies in managing high cholesterol, and addresses some of the fears and misconceptions associated with cholesterol treatment.  This interview is part of Unblocked, a movement for heart health by Novartis.
