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 infections
Bronchopneumonia (also called lobular pneumonia) is a type of pneumonia characterized by inflammation and infection of the bronchioles and surrounding alveoli in the lungs. It typically affects patchy areas in one or more lobes of the lungs, rather than an entire lobe (as seen in lobar pneumonia). Acute bronchitis is a short-term inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which are the airways that carry air to and from your lungs.

Background
Natasha is a 3-year-old girl and an orphan residing at a children’s home that relies entirely on the support of well-wishers. She enjoys watching cartoons and dancing. Natasha was abandoned along the roadside when she was just one month old. A Good Samaritan rescued her, reported the case to the police, and she was later placed at the Children’s Home. The children's home came to know about Helpster Charity through a site visit by Rheemah Hospital, and later by Vincent. Recently, Natasha developed a sore throat, runny nose, headache, muscle aches, wheezing, and shortness of breath. She had been given oral medication at the home, but her condition did not improve. She was then taken to Rheemah Hospital, where she was promptly attended to by a medical officer and started on treatment.
