Yet good Samaritan Dr Suryani is dedicated to putting a stop to this torture. Most women her age are taking it easy, but not psychiatrist Dr Suryani. “"I help people who are not being helped. I want to remind the families, society and the government that these people are not useless.”" Her work is an example of how the right treatment can get excellent results. But her initial government funded budget has now been slashed by 90%, threatening the existence of the medical program: “"treating in a hospital requires much more funding than the funding (required for) giving the responsibility to the community and to the doctors in the local clinics.”" This lack of resources and financial support is putting Suryani and her volunteers under pressure.
