About Us

It started with the passion of two people who have been working on the field of addiction: Riza Sarasvita, S.Psi, M.Si, MHS, PhD and DR. dr. Diah Setia Utami, SpKJ, MARS to form a foundation that would work addiction treatment and prevention. The two ladies met with Prof. DR. dr. Samsuridjal Djauzi, SpPD, KAI and Prof. Dr. Zubairi Djoerban to discuss further about the idea; they all have strong concern in health and humanity. Decisively, they established ABHIPRAYA Foundation on January 20, 2015 –as a non-profit organization- to extent various efforts, particularly in overcoming blood-borne virus transmission, addiction and human right violation among people who are affected with those issues.
