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 digestion system
Mohammed Rahim, a 13-year-old refugee boy, has been diagnosed with symptomatic third-degree complete rectal prolapse, a serious condition in which the entire wall of the rectum protrudes outside the anus, especially during or after bowel movements. This has caused severe pain, bleeding, constipation, difficulty sitting, and discomfort that has significantly affected his daily activities and overall quality of life. If left untreated, the prolapsed rectum may become trapped or lose its blood supply, leading to tissue death, severe infection, bowel obstruction, and other life-threatening complications.

Background
Mohammad Rahim is a kind and responsible 13-year-old Rohingya boy who lives with his parents and three younger siblings in the Kutupalong Refugee Camp, helping care for his family while dreaming of becoming a teacher. His father is the family's only earning member, working as a daily wage laborer with irregular income that is barely enough to provide food and other basic necessities, leaving the family unable to afford the cost of surgery, hospitalization, medicines, and follow-up care. After learning about Helpster Charity during a medical outreach program at Kutupalong, the family sought assistance in the hope of restoring Rahim's health and allowing him to return to school. Despite every effort, they have no savings and no access to nearby government hospitals capable of providing the specialized surgery he urgently needs. Without timely treatment, his third-degree complete rectal prolapse may lead to severe bleeding, strangulation of the prolapsed bowel, tissue death, serious infection, bowel obstruction, and other life-threatening complications, causing permanent disability and greatly affecting his future.
Medical history
Mohammed Rahim was admitted to Orion Hospital on 21.07.2026 through Helpster volunteer Tamjid Md. Muktadir with symptomatic third-degree complete rectal prolapse. After thorough evaluation, he successfully underwent a Thiersch procedure under anesthesia on 23.07.2026, followed by postoperative care, pain management, dietary modification, and bowel care. He remained hospitalized for six days and was discharged on 26.07.2026 in stable condition with medications and follow-up instructions. His family sincerely thanks Helpster Charity, volunteer Tamjid Md. Muktadir, and the doctors, nurses, and staff of Orion Hospital for their compassionate care, generous financial support, and successful treatment.
Prognosis
The recommended treatment is a Thiersch procedure under anesthesia to correct the third-degree complete rectal prolapse and restore the rectum to its normal position. With timely surgery, appropriate postoperative care, pain management, nutritional support, and regular follow-up, Mohammed Rahim is expected to recover well, regain normal bowel function, and return to his daily activities without pain or discomfort. If left untreated, the prolapsed rectum may become trapped (incarcerated) or lose its blood supply (strangulation), leading to tissue death, severe bleeding, bowel obstruction, infection, fecal incontinence, and life-threatening sepsis
