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.

Bokoli Sub-County Hospital, Sikata - Kimilili Rd, Bokoli
Background
Jemimah, the eldest of seven siblings, lives with her family in a small two-room house. Their livelihood depends on her mother, who sells bananas at the local market, earning about 50 shillings daily (1,500 shillings per month). Due to financial struggles, they often manage only one meal a day. Despite these challenges, Jemimah is a determined young woman pursuing fashion design at a local polytechnic, with her tuition covered by the County Government. She is also passionate about netball and works hard to secure a better future for her family. Three days ago, Jemimah experienced severe abdominal pain and was not taken to hospital soon enough because they could not afford medical care. They were referred to Bokoli Sub-County Hospital by a village administrator who is well aware of Helpster Charity.
Medical history
Jemimah was diagnosed with peptic ulcers and pneumonia ,she was admitted and given good medication, stayed for 3 days and on her discharge she was stable on her follow up on phone call later she was happy and appreciated Helpster charity for helping her restore back her good health and also told me on how she is now back to her usual duties for both school and at home.
Prognosis
if the condition couldn't treated it could have resulted to several complications, including stomach ulcers, bleeding, and, in rare cases, an increased risk of stomach cancer or anemia and other organ damage including lungs.
