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 pulmonology
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
Manha is a 7-month-old girl who lives happily with her parents and two older brothers in a house made of tin sheets. She's the third child in the family. Manha is a very adorable girl who enjoys playing with her siblings. Her dad is the only one who works to support the family. Manha has been diagnosed with severe pneumonia. Her family learned about Helpster Charity from their neighbors and came to Naranganj Polyclinic to ask for free treatment because they're having a tough time financially and can't afford proper treatment for their kids.
Medical history
Manha was suffering from severe pneumonia and presented to our facility with complaints of shortness of breath, rapid breathing, cough, cold, and fever. Due to the seriousness of her condition, she required emergency hospitalization. During her treatment, Manha received oxygen inhalation and nebulization with sulbutamol, ipratropium bromide, and budesonide. She was also given injectable antibiotics to address her critical state. Thankfully, she has made a significant recovery and is now back home with her parents, bringing them immense joy and relief.
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.
