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
Asma is a 17-year-old girl who lives with her parents in a small tin house. She enjoys singing and going out with her friends. She's very ambitious and has many dreams. Asma wanted to become a teacher and continue her education, but her parents couldn't afford it, so she had to stop going to school. She got married when she was 15 years old and now lives with her husband in a similar tin house.
Medical history
Seventeen-year-old Asma faced a challenging health condition marked by Hypertrophy of the Inferior Turbinates alongside a Mild Deviation of the Septum. Despite seeking treatment from multiple doctors, her symptoms persisted and even worsened over time, causing recurrent respiratory tract infections, loss of smell, and occasional shortness of breath. Recognizing the urgency of her situation, Asma underwent Bilateral Inferior Turbinectomy with septoplasty under general anesthesia. Fortunately, the surgery was a success, and Asma is now on the path to recovery. Grateful for the care she received, Asma extends heartfelt thanks to Helpster Charity and Narayanganj Polyclinic, acknowledging their role in saving her life.
Prognosis
The patient was suffering from recurrent episodes of respiratory tract infection with symptoms of recurrent cough and cold, anosmia, and shortness of breath. The patient was diagnosed with Bilateral Hypertrophy of Inferior Turbinet and Deviated Nasal Septum. The patient needs to undergo an emergency surgery - the bilateral inferior turbinectomy with septoplasty. The enlargement of the nasal bone the separates two nostrils will be cut away to allow the free passage of air.
