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.

YOBE STATE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL DAMATURU
Damaturu, Yobe State, 6 Gujba Road, Nigeria
Background
Fatima is an active child who always prefers her mother and doesn't like strangers. She's said to be having a good developmental milestone. Fatima presented with a 3-day history of fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis and a characteristic body rash which started on the face then later spread to other body parts. Parents also noticed her to be having fast breathing. On presentation at our hospital, she was evaluated and diagnosed with Measles complicated with Bronchopneumonia.
Medical history
Fatima was admitted in our facility and was managed as a case and measles complicated by Bronchopneumonia. She received her full dosages of parenteral medications and other supportive interventions where she responded well with resolve of the presenting symptoms. She was later discharged home with oral medications to complete her recovery.
Prognosis
Opinion is that Mealses and bronchopneumonia although it is a serious infection, has good prognosis with the appropriate rest and supplementary medication coupled with symptomatic management, measles is cured and the bronchopneumonia is treatable with the appropriate antibiotics and other supplementary treatment protocols. When left untreated, Measles, especially the complicated ones can lead to a sequela and in some cases even fatality.
