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 neonatal asphyxia
Neonatal asphyxia is a condition resulting from inadequate oxygen supply to a newborn before, during, or immediately after birth. It is characterized by failure to initiate or sustain breathing, leading to hypoxia and possible organ damage. Risk factors include prolonged labor, birth asphyxia, placental insufficiency, cord prolapse, and maternal complications.
