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.

About skin
Septic Tinea capitis -known as scalp ringworm, is a fungal infection that primarily affects the scalp, hair follicles, and sometimes the eyebrows and eyelashes. It is caused by dermatophytes, which are a type of mold-like fungi. Septic tinea capitis refers to a more severe, often inflammatory form of the infection where secondary bacterial infection can occur. This can lead to the formation of pustules, painful nodules (kerion), and potential scarring with permanent hair loss.

Background
Gracious is the third of four children in her family. She enjoys going to school and playing with her friends afterward. She also loves helping her grandmother in the kitchen and dreams of becoming a chef when she grows up. On weekends, she accompanies her grandmother to the market to sell groceries. Recently, Gracious developed recurring rashes on her scalp, which later turned into pustules that produced pus. Despite attempts to treat the condition with herbal remedies, there was no improvement. As the situation worsened and she became unable to attend school, her grandmother wanted to take her to the hospital for proper medical care but lacked the funds, then one of the ladies in the market informed her about Helpster Charity and referred her to our hospital.
