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
Gabriel is a 3-year-old boy who enjoys watching football, listening to music, and cartoons. He is an orphan currently living in a children's home which relies entirely on the support of well-wishers for its upkeep. Gabriel dreams of becoming a doctor when he grows up. He was abandoned at a marketplace when he was only a few months old and was rescued by a good Samaritan who reported the case to the police. Following this, Gabriel was placed in the care of the children’s home. Despite efforts to locate his parents or relatives, no connections have been found. Recently, Gabriel began experiencing frequent episodes of diarrhea and a poor appetite. The matron noticed that he had become too weak to walk and was vomiting after taking anything orally. Due to his worsening condition, he was brought to the hospital for medical evaluation and treatment.
