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
David is a happy and playful child who enjoys playing football, watching cartoons, riding his bicycle, and playing with toy cars. He lives with his mother and grandparents in the slums of Nyahururu town and dreams of becoming a mechanic when he grows up. Two years ago, David's mother, Grace, discovered that David had a missing right testicle. She took him to the government dispensary, where a nurse advised her to get a scrotal ultrasound scan. Three weeks later, the scan revealed that David had an undescended right testicle. He was referred to the county government referral hospital for surgery. At the referral hospital, Grace was asked to book the surgery, but she could not afford it due to her unstable income. She has been worried ever since, seeking help from relatives, but no one seemed to understand David's condition. Upon learning about Helpster Charity from volunteer Jecinda, Grace came to Good Hope Hospital to request assistance from Helpster Charity to raise funds for her son's surgical treatment.

Prognosis
Treatment for undescended testis typically involves surgery, known as orchiopexy. During this procedure, a surgeon relocates the testicle from its abnormal position in the abdomen or groin into the scrotum. This helps promote normal testicular development and function. Treatment is essential to prevent long-term complications, especially if the condition is identified in early childhood.
