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
Gift is a jovial and playful child who lives with her parents. She loves drinking yoghurt and eating sweet cakes. She was brought to the hospital with complaints of cough, irritability, difficulty in breathing, fever and loss of appetite. She has been ailing for the past 4 days and her condition seemed to worsen by the day. The difficulty in breathing is worse at night, keeping her worried parents awake. She has not been feeding well and seems to have lost alot of weight over the past few days.
Medical history
Gift is a bright-eyed, cheerful little girl who fills her home with laughter. Some time ago, her joyful spirit dimmed when a persistent cough, high fever, and labored breathing left her weak, irritable, and unable to eat. Without treatment, her pneumonia could have led to respiratory failure or sepsis, putting her life at risk. Gift’s family reached out to Helpster Charity, which covered her medical expenses. After being stabilized, Gift was discharged with oral antibiotics to continue her recovery at home.
Prognosis
If not treated immediately Gift would be at risk of developing respiratory failure as a result of lung abscess due to pneumonia infection. There is however a very good prognosis if pneumonia and sepsis are treated urgently with antibiotics and antipyretics. Gift would also be at risk of tissue damage as a result of sepsis.
