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
Brian, a lively one-year-old boy, lives with his grandparents in a rural area. At first, he showed signs of poor appetite and a fever, but his family was unable to afford medical treatment. As his condition worsened, they sought help at a nearby health facility. However, without the means to pay for treatment, they were referred to a Helpster volunteer for assistance. That’s when we stepped in to support them. During the doctor’s review, Brian presented with a cough, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, and loss of appetite. After physical examination, the doctor ordered several lab tests, including a Complete Blood Count (CBC) and Blood Smear for Malaria Parasites (Bs for MPs). The results confirmed that Brian had malaria, while the other tests came back negative. The doctor diagnosed him with malaria, an upper respiratory tract infection, and malnutrition, and treatment was initiated immediately.
