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 blood
Sickle cell anemia is one of a group of inherited disorders known as sickle cell disease. It affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body.Red blood cells are usually round and flexible, so they move easily through blood vessels. In sickle cell anemia, some red blood cells are shaped like sickles or crescent moons. These sickle cells also become rigid and sticky, which can slow or block blood flow

Background
Nawal is a 5-year-old girl from a rural community where her family must walk long distances to access water and purchase food. They rely on a pit latrine for sanitation and depend entirely on her mother, a local market hawker. Nawal is currently in grade 1 and is a bright, hardworking student who dreams of becoming a teacher. She is a known sickle cell patient and began feeling unwell two days ago. Due to financial constraints, her mother could only afford to buy painkillers from a nearby chemist, which she administered to Nawal while trying to monitor her condition. Unfortunately, Nawal’s condition worsened, and they had to seek care at a health facility despite lacking the money for services. Upon arrival, Nawal told the doctor that she was having sudden joint pain, chest pain, difficulty walking, and pain in the chest with deep breaths.
