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
Prince is the second-born child of a young mother. His father abandoned them while the mother was still pregnant. The mother, who dropped out of school and is currently unemployed, lives with her paternal grandmother in a two-roomed house, along with several cousins. The grandmother is the sole provider for the household. According to the mother, Prince began coughing and stopped breastfeeding. She also noticed flu-like symptoms. Hoping the condition would improve on its own, she kept him at home for two days. However, when his symptoms persisted, she decided to take him to the hospital for medical care.
Medical history
Prince was brought to the hospital with complaints of coughing, fever, and not breastfeeding well. He was diagnosed with severe pneumonia and had to be admitted for further management. Prince responded well to treatment and was discharged on amoxicillin, ranferon, and paracetamol. His mother revealed through a phone call that Prince had recovered and was feeding well.
Prognosis
Untreated pneumonia can lead to severe and potentially life-threatening complications, including respiratory failure, lung abscesses, sepsis, and organ damage. The infection can also spread to other organs, further complicating the situation.
