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.

About liver & kidneys

Medical history

About ten months ago, he started experiencing right loin pain, Lower back pain, and dysuria.

On presentation at our facility, he was examined and investigated, and a diagnosis of a Right Kidney Stone was made. He requires urgent surgery upon Helpster's approval. Had successful surgery on 5th June, 2024 and was discharged on 7th June,2024. Parents were thankful to Helpster Charity for the free surgery.
Prognosis
Larger stones might require more extensive treatment like using sound waves to break up the stone (lithotripsy), surgery to remove very large stones, or using a scope passed through the bladder to remove smaller stones. Kidney stones can cause excruciating pain as they move through the urinary tract. If left untreated, the stone may continue to pass or become lodged in a position that causes persistent, severe pain.
