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
Joseph is the first born child in a family of three; he is a calm and very hardworking boy. He likes electrical machines and would like to be an electrical engineer when he grows up. He fell ill a few days ago while at school and was given medication for anti-pain at the school clinic. The pain persisted and he had to be referred to the nearest health facility, which was this health facility (Ashburn)
Medical history
The boy returned from school with symptoms including blood in his urine, headache, and joint pain. He was sent to the laboratory for a urinalysis and a blood smear for malaria parasites. The test results showed no malaria infection but was diagnosed with a serious infection in his kidney and urinary tract system which was treated. A repeat urinalysis after completing the course of treatment confirmed that Joseph was now well. Today, Joseph is thriving - back in class, playing with friends and free from pain. His life has changed for the better, all thanks to compassionate healthcare support.
Prognosis
The infection should be treated immediately, since it may spread onto kidneys, if left untreated. It will also keep causing pain and discomfort if the treatment is not received.
