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 pathology
Kidney stones are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. Kidney stones can cause severe pain in the back and side of the abdomen, pain during urination, pink, red, or brown urine, nausea, vomiting, and a persistent need to urinate.

Background
Inure is an 11-year-old boy who comes from a family that doesn't have much money. He's a happy kid who likes making friends and wants to be an entrepreneur when he grows up. Five months ago, he started having pain on his right side, trouble peeing, and feeling nauseous. He went to a different hospital for help, but they couldn't afford the treatment. Then they found out about Helpster and brought him to our facility. The doctors here diagnosed him with a Kidney Stone.
Medical history
Inusa underwent evaluation for surgery due to a right renal stone. The surgery, performed on January 7, 2024, was successful without any complications. He was discharged home on January 14, 2024. Inusa's condition has significantly improved since then; he can now urinate without pain and enjoys playing freely with his friends.
Prognosis
Larger stones might require more extensive treatment like using sound waves to break up the stone (lithotripsy), surgery to remove very large stones, or using a scope passed through the bladder to remove smaller stones. Stones can cause recurrent UTIs, which may become chronic and can lead to more serious kidney infections.
