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.

The boy has been battling opportunistic diseases and he is always in and out of hospital, his schooling has also been distracted. If Allan could be assisted with treatment, his schooling would be normal and his mother will be relieved the cost of frequent hospital visits.
