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 blood
A sickle cell crisis (or vaso-occlusive crisis) is a sudden, severe episode of pain caused by misshapen, sickle-shaped red blood cells blocking blood flow through small blood vessels. This obstruction reduces oxygen delivery to tissues, resulting in intense pain—often in the chest, back, or limbs—that can last hours or days. It is a major, sometimes life-threatening, complication requiring prompt medical care. Hajara Kabiru was diagnosed with Sickle Cell Anemia (HbSS), a genetic blood disorder where her red blood cells become abnormally shaped, causing blockages in blood flow. This leads to painful episodes called sickle cell crises, as well as risks of anemia, infections, and other complications.
