Due to slashed budget of mental health by Bali’s governor had made Professor Suryani shock. She had to make a final call to the volunteer in east part of Bali. After managed to treat more than 300 patients in 2009, the services need to reschedule. “I have to inform the patients, families, village leaders and the doctors in the community that we have serious problems”, said Suryani in tears. She can not accept that the patients she has been treated has to face the same problem that they’ve been suffering for many years. “They were in cage, chained, put in wood stack and other restrained condition for many years, but last year they can feel the normal life”, add Dr Lesmana.
All the volunteer had tried their best to inform the people that the service they provided is facing a budget problem. Many of the patients can not say anything than accept to be put in chained again because they have no money to go to the government services. They can only pray and hope that the disorders will not relaps.
