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
Phillip is 21, he is a student at state university here in Bauchi, the 6th child among 7 children. He is also a passionate soccer player. His parents are struggling to take care of the children as the mother fries akara by the roadside and the father is a security guard. Phillip couldn't attend lectures for a week now as he has been going through persistent headache, nausea, weakness of the body and high body temperature. The news about Helpster reached him, he reached out to Albishir for proper consultation and medical care. He is recovering well and observing his medications. On presentation at our hospital, James was evaluated and diagnosed with an Acute Exacerbation of Peptic Ulcer Disease.
Medical history
Philip was diagnosed with acute exacerbation of peptic ulcer disease. Before coming to Albishir clinic, he was having serious pains which often makes him go through sleepless nights. Thanks to Helpster Charity for extending support to his health as he was prescribed some medications and kept under close observation. He was advised to take good diet and was discouraged to consume specific food like pepper among others. The doctor discharged him when he was satisfied with how he has fully recovered.
Prognosis
With early treatment as in the case of Philip, the prognosis is good and likely to recover well. If untreated, it may lead to serious complications like bleeding or perforation. Avoiding triggers and following medical advice helps prevent recurrence.
