Sultoni, 27 years old man from Tegal, Jawa Tengah, Indonesia suffered from polio almost 26 year since the age of 13 months till now.
Unlike many teenagers in general who can interact with the outside world, hanging out with friends, and feel the world of education, etc., Sultoni can only lie in bed (wooden board without a pillow or mattress pads) accompanied by a small radio at his side.
When Sultoni was 13 months, Rasito, his father took him to a hospital. Sultoni was still unable to walk until the lapse of time long enough.
Rasito tried to cure his son by taking him back to the same hospital that is RS. Susilo, Slawi-Tegal. According to the pediatrician who examined his circumstances, Sultoni was experiencing symptoms of polio.
The certificate that informed they were poor family earned by Rasito was enough to help him to get free medical help, even though it was not completely free because the drugs are required by Sultoni not available in the hospital and they forced Rasito to buy them outside the hospital.
Sultoni was initially placed in the bedroom in the house. But because the family can not stand the smell of feces, the family put Sultoni in the kitchen, where usually his mom cook.
Now kitchen becomes his bedroom as well. Any reasonable efforts have been made, but Sultoni still can not walk until today.
