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
Gastritis is the inflammation of the lining of the stomach which can subsequently lead to ulcertions in the stomach lining. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a type of spiral-shaped bacterium that lives in the stomach lining. It’s one of the most common chronic bacterial infections worldwide. H. pylori can damage the protective mucous layer of the stomach, leading to gastritis (stomach inflammation), peptic ulcers, and, in some cases, an increased risk of stomach cancer.
