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 emergency care

Obstructed labor occurs when there is poor or no progress despite strong contractions, usually due to issues with the fetus (fault in passenger) or birth canal (fault in passage). A cesarean section, or C-section, is a surgical procedure used to deliver a baby through incisions made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. In this case it is due to Hydrocephalus and it resulted to fetal distress.
