Network Steering Committee Members Meet to Discuss the Network’s Activities
BANDUNG – The INA-RESPOND Network Steering Committee (NSC) meeting was successfully held on October 22 – 23, 2014 in Bandung. Except for a couple of SC members who could not make it, all SC members gathered at Gedung Fakultas Kedokteran Universitas Padjajaran, Bandung to discuss important issues related to the network’s studies and the future of the network.
A network as big as INA-RESPOND surely has its own challenges. However, with good communication and openness, there is nothing the network cannot resolve. The National Institute of Health Research and Development (Badan Litbangkes RI) is going to hold a meeting with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Indonesia to talk about the INA-RESPOND network. We are hoping that through this meeting, INA-RESPOND activities will gain more support from other departments and ministries.
In one of the discussions in the NSC meeting, every SC member shared and testified to the benefits and acknowledgement received from conducting the AFIRE study, such as:
- becoming the model study in GCI accreditation (because the study meets international standards and requirements),
- improving inter-department communication (because the study involves more than one department),
- developing the infrastructure of clinical research at sites, and
- creating topnotch researchers.
Aside from the AFIRE site PIs, one Research Assistant from each site is also invited to give and share his / her findings. They also participated in the “INA101 Data Introduction and Analysis” training, organized by the Data Management department of INA-RESPOND Secretariat.
Next NSC Meeting will be held in February 2015 after the AFIRE interim analysis meeting, which will be held in January 2015.

My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different medical procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
