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.

In the future he aspires to become a bussiness tycoon so that he can take his family out of poverty. He was feeling well, until sometime around October 2024 barely fifteen (15) months ago, he started experiencing pain while urinating with preceding history of oliguria, right flank pain and lower back pain. He got some relief when he takes pain killer medication. He was examined in UMD Medical Clinic and diagnosed with right kidney stone and was planned for surgery upon approval by Helpster charity.
