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
Faruq a 8-year-old boy from poor home who was the 4th child of family of six. His father is a bricklayer, and his mom makes hat and sale to support the family's financial needs. He is introverted but likes music and watching movies in their neighborhood. He has ambition to become an entrepreneur in the future. He was well but 2 years after birth he developed a scrotal swelling, a swelling which was initially small and now is getting bigger. On presentation at our hospital, he was evaluated and diagnosed with Hydrocele.
Medical history
Faruq is an 8-year-old boy that was evaluated and diagnosed with Hydrocele. On Helpster's approval, he was admitted and surgical correction done successfully. After recovery, he was discharged home, no longer having swelling or pains. He was very happy as he can resume his usual life and was grateful to Helpster Charity.
Prognosis
He will require surgery due to the swelling but it has good prognosis. Treatment of the swelling will remove pain and the discomfort associated with it.If left untreated, can cause inguinal hernia(a condition in which some part of the intestine pushes through an opening in the groin.It can also result to infection of the testis, twisting of the testis(torsion).
