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.

Epsilon Specialist Hospital Kaduna
34, Gongola road off Chalawa Cresent Barnawa Kaduna Nigeria
Background
Jafar is the second of 3 children born to Fatima (Mother) and Jafar (Father) in a small town in Kaduna State Nigeria. He is 6 years old and suffering from congenital abnormalities. He was born without an anus and he had entangled intestine. The intestine has been corrected and an anus created and waiting for it to be healed then the colon would be connected to the anus that was fabricated. While this is going on, the parents are expected to make a payment before the boy would be discharged from the Hospital. But they cannot afford it...
Medical history
The patient was delivered with absent anus (Anorectal malformation), had a colostomy on the 3rd day of life in our hospital, was lost to follow up and represented in the 6th year of life. So, the patient had posterior sagittal anorectoplasty done. The patient did well and was discharged. Later the patient was readmitted to have laparotomy and reversal of colostomy. Jafar recovered well post operatively and is now passing stools per rectum. The patient was discharged to continue follow up at the outpatient clinic, where he will be having serial anal dilatations. Jafar is now able to poop from his anus. Even though he is still in pains due to the healing process, he is happy to associate with his peers and use the toilet like every other child he plays with.
Prognosis
Jafar has a chance for a normal life and less risks of sepsis with the surgery, but it's needed to be done urgently
