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
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines causing diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Dehydration occurs when the body loses excessive fluids and salts, leading to weakness and dizziness. Anaemia is a condition where the body has low red blood cells or haemoglobin, reducing oxygen supply to tissues. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection affecting the urinary system, causing pain during urination and discomfort. Peptic ulcer disease involves sores in the stomach or upper intestinal lining, leading to abdominal pain, nausea, and poor appetite.
