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
Chelangat lives with her in-laws in a modest three-room house in the village. She became pregnant while still staying at her parents’ home, but later moved in with her boyfriend’s family. She did not complete high school and has no vocational training, but she enjoys caring for her younger in-laws and currently sells kales and fruits. She dreams of expanding her small business into a thriving enterprise in the future. During her antenatal clinic visits, it was confirmed that her baby was in a breech position. She was advised to ensure that the moment she experienced any signs of labor, no matter how mild, she should report to the hospital immediately. This is because breech deliveries carry significant risks and must be handled at a well-equipped, high-level health facility. Chelangat arrived at the health facility in the second stage of labor, complaining of abdominal pain, backache, and headache. Fortunately, her labor progressed well, and she delivered a live male baby weighing 2,400 grams. Both mother and baby are currently stable. It is important to note that breech deliveries are high-risk. Complications can include umbilical cord prolapse, birth trauma, head entrapment, and oxygen deprivation, which may lead to serious injury or even death of the baby. For this reason, breech births are typically managed in hospitals with surgical capability, where preparations are made for a possible emergency cesarean section in case manual maneuvers to deliver the breech baby fail.
