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
Rakib is a cheerful 19-year-old who lives with his father, mother, and brother, and he loves playing football and enjoying his mother’s cooking. After an accidental injury, he developed severe pain and swelling in his right hand, and doctors later confirmed a fracture of the 4th proximal phalanx. His father is the only earner in the family, and their limited income barely covers daily expenses, leaving them unable to afford the urgent treatment and immobilization Rakib needs. Without proper care, his fracture could heal incorrectly, leading to long-term disability and preventing him from using his hand for work or everyday tasks. His worried family is now seeking support so Rakib can recover fully and continue dreaming of becoming a successful businessman.
