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
Aslamiya Abdullahi is a child of 5 years old. Growing up in a nuclear family, the parents are living peacefully and wishes Aslamya would be great some day. Aslamiya is a healthy growing child until a year ago, while the mother was preparing the Nigerian northern traditional swallow also known as 'tuwo', she fell and dipped her left hand into the hot pot of Tuwo and it caused scalding injury to the hand. She was managed at home but later developed difficulty flexing her fingers and moving her wrist. On presentation at our hospital, Aslamiya was evaluated and diagnosed with broad Hypertrophic Scars on the dorsum of the distal half of her left forearm secondary to the scalding injuries from the Hot food. She will benefit greatly from a scar excision and corrective surgery - split thickness grafting to correct the defects and improve her range of motion on the left hand.
