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
Timothy is in Grade I and would like to be a doctor when he grows up. He lives with his brother Simiyu who is also unwell, together with their 2 sisters and parents. Both of his parents do not have any jobs. His father does manual jobs to earn a living. They get their water from a stream which takes more than 40 mins to go to the stream and back to the homestead. They use their neighbour’s toilet since their homestead does not have a toilet. Their house is grass thatched and has mud walls. The floor is earth and his mother covers it with dung once a month. They do not have electricity in the homestead. He and his brother have been unwell, passing dark urine and having pain in the flank regions. When he grows up, he would like to be a pilot.
