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
Pneumonia develops when the defensive mechanisms within the lung become overwhelmed by a pathogen which has been either inhaled or aspirated. It is associated with a high mortality rate and significant morbidity. Severe pneumonia is frequently a multisystem disease and patients will often present with multiple organ failure.

Background
Rodin enjoys playing with colors and toys. He's the youngest child, and his mom is raising him alone. They took him to the hospital because he had a cough, trouble breathing, a runny nose, and he didn't feel like eating.
Medical history
Rodin, the youngest child in his family, loves playing with colors and toys. Raised by his single mother, he was taken to the hospital after he begun experiencing a cough, difficulty breathing, a runny nose, and a loss of appetite. He was diagnosed with pneumonia. His mother, who earns a living by selling ripe bananas on the streets, struggled to afford his treatment. He was prescribed oral medication. Helpster Charity footed all the hospital bills and Rodin made a full recovery.
Prognosis
Pneumonia should be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, pneumonia may lead to the permanent lung damage, respiratory failure, septicaemia (infection entering blood stream and causing sepsis), pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, which can make breathing difficult), and other life-threatening complications.
