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
Md. Jihad is a hardworking and respectful 17-year-old student in Grade 9 who dreams of completing his education and building a better future for his family. His parents were devastated when he suddenly developed typhoid fever, leaving him weak with high fever, severe body aches, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. As the family's financial resources are very limited, the cost of hospital admission, investigations, and medicines became an overwhelming burden that they could not manage on their own. The family learned about Helpster Charity through volunteer Abdur Rahman, who gave them hope during this difficult time. Without timely treatment, typhoid fever could lead to severe dehydration, intestinal bleeding or perforation, bloodstream infection, and other life-threatening complications, putting Jihad's health, education, and future at serious risk.
