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
Diborah is a two-year-old baby who is usually very active when she is not ill. Over the past few months, she has been suffering from pain due to a generalized rash featuring pustules on her body, which are both itchy and painful.
Medical history
Diborah came with rashes all over her body but upon treatment through Helpster charity she was able to be treated and her wounds have now healed. She is now ok with no discomfort, She is joyful and happy again.
Prognosis
Without treatment, the itching and skin rash associated with scabies can intensify and become more widespread, leading to severe discomfort and sleep disturbances. Additionally, scratching the affected areas can cause open sores and increase the risk of bacterial skin infections, such as impetigo or cellulitis. In some cases, untreated scabies can lead to a persistent and chronic form of the condition, which can be even more challenging to manage.
