Why is treatment sometimes done earlier than the payment?
When a case is urgent and vital, hospitals often proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalisation of admission procedures. Usually, when this happens, hospitals put the bill on our credit until the funds are transferred to their accounts. That’s why the chronology can sometimes be in disorder.

Background
Hindatu is a seven-year-old cheerful girl from a financially disadvantaged background, as her family is internally displaced. Despite her circumstances, she enjoys playing with friends and aspires to become a teacher in the future. Until about 2 months ago, Hindatu was in good health. However, she began experiencing flank and lower abdominal pains, painful urination (dysuria), and fever. While some symptoms improved after taking antibiotics and pain relievers, she recently developed urinary retention and was brought to UMD Clinic this morning. Upon examination, the doctor diagnosed her with bladder stones. Urgent surgery is needed to prevent further complications and address her condition.

Prognosis
Treatment of larger bladder stones may require procedures such as lithotripsy (breaking the stones into smaller pieces using sound waves) or surgical removal. Additionally, measures to prevent the recurrence of bladder stones may include dietary changes, increased fluid intake, and addressing underlying conditions that contribute to stone formation.
