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 gynecology
Severe anaemia in pregnancy is a condition where a pregnant woman has a very low level of haemoglobin in her blood, commonly defined as below 7 g/dL. This significantly reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen to the mother and baby. It may cause extreme weakness, dizziness, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, or fainting. If untreated, it increases the risk of heart failure, premature delivery, low birth weight, poor fetal growth, and maternal or fetal complications.

Background
Faith is a 22-year-old married woman and mother of two children who lives in a rural community with her family. She left school while in Form Two because her family could no longer afford the school fees, limiting her opportunities for stable employment. She relies on small-scale farming to support her household, while her husband earns an irregular income through casual labour. Together, their earnings are insufficient to meet their family's basic needs. They live in a modest two-room mud house and struggle to afford food, healthcare, and other essential expenses. During her pregnancy, Faith developed severe anaemia and began experiencing extreme body weakness, persistent tiredness, dizziness, headaches, shortness of breath on exertion, and occasional palpitations. As her condition worsened, she found it increasingly difficult to carry out household responsibilities and care for her children. Severe anaemia during pregnancy placed both her life and that of her unborn baby at risk, requiring urgent medical attention. Her financial hardship and limited access to nutritious food and timely healthcare likely contributed to the severity of her condition.
Medical history
Faith responded well to treatment after receiving comprehensive antenatal care, appropriate management of her severe anaemia, prescribed medications was given as follows,Caps Amoxil tds 7 days, Flagyl 400 mg tds 7 days Runferon tds among others.She adhered to her treatment plan, attended regular antenatal clinic visits, and her haemoglobin level gradually improved. Her symptoms of weakness, dizziness, and shortness of breath reduced significantly, allowing her to resume her normal daily activities and also delivered. She is currently home and back to her normal activities
Prognosis
Faith is a 22-year-old pregnant woman with severe anaemia and a previous perineal tear. She requires prompt treatment of the anaemia, nutritional support, regular antenatal follow-up, and skilled monitoring during labour and delivery. With appropriate treatment, adherence to medication, adequate nutrition and careful obstetric care, her prognosis is favourable. However, untreated severe anaemia may increase the risk of heart failure, infection, postpartum haemorrhage, preterm delivery, poor fetal growth and fetal distress, potentially endangering both mother and baby.
