Who comprise 90% patients at Jeddah psychiatry center?

The director of Jeddah psychiatry center said that at least one Ethiopian housemaid is admitted in the hospital every day.
He also said that the psychiatry hospital in Jeddah is currently accommodating and rehabilitating a big number of patients, 90 percent of which in the female section comprise Ethiopians. The diagnosis, according to Dr. Suhail Khan, is mainly schizophrenia and related serious mental challenges.
Even though I tried to argue that an Ethiopian maid, in most cases, is a victim of abuse by labor pirates and the musty market of human trafficking at its worst, many took these efforts the way they shouldn’t be taken.
The official health statement leaves a minor margin for debating that these maids were, for health reasons, not qualified to decide what’s best for themselves.
This is to say that some heartless human trafficker sent them, right after someone decided on their behalf. The biggest sufferers in all aspects are the maid, her family and the families of the Saudi victims. For those who wish to reconsider their stands, no trace of suffering is found in the record of the human traffickers, of course!
