Table 2 : Number of Clients and Contacts – Total and Subset Using
Needle Exchange Services
* Based on client ID code where needles and syringes have been taken and/or returned. Note: a client code
will only be counted once in the entire 12 months, so the total will not equal monthly totals added together
because a client may be counted in more than one month.

Needle Syringe Exchange Program in Malaysia

Dato’ Dr. Faisal Hj. Ibrahim, m/s 29-58
While focusing their efforts on IDU clients using the NSE service,
the pilot sites are keen to provide a comprehensive and holistic service
that also allows services access to non-IDUs. This is particularly relevant
as an individual’s using behaviour may change repeatedly over time,
and it is important that they feel welcome to access services that will
minimise the harm of their activities. There is, however, some potential
harm with having a DIG where ex-IDUs (including those on MMT) mix
with current IDUs, and the sites should be mindful of this and refer non-
IDU clients to other agencies wherever possible. Given that there is limited
services that meet the needs of ex-IDUs, development and funding of
these additional services such as skills training and job placement are
urgently required.
