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.

Meet Jesse Samson, a vibrant 1-year-and-7-month-old toddler who brings joy to everyone around him. Despite his young age, Jesse has a big personality and a passion for playing football. However, his life is currently hanging in the balance due to severe malnutrition and sepsis. Jesse's family has been struggling to make ends meet, and as a result, they have been unable to provide him with the necessary care and nutrition.

On presentation at the hospital, Jesse was evaluated and diagnosed with Severe Malaria, Sepsis, and Malnutrition. Thankfully, he was admitted immediately and is currently receiving treatment.
