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
Suraiya is 11 years old, she lives with her parents and younger brother in her family in a tin house. Her father is a farmer. Suraiya studies in a primary school in her village. Suraiya is a very active girl, and does a lot of sports together with her friends. Her tonsillitis condition has broken it all, bringing fever, constant viruses, pain in the foreground, so that Suraiya is not able to eat properly, go to school, be active. Suraiya's Mom, Rupali: "I am worried about my child and feel helpless as we cannot afford proper medical treatment. My daughter's condition has worsened. Only Tonsillectomy can change the situation. I was so happy to get to know about Helpster Program in our region. I beg Helpster Donors to support my daughter and change her life for the better. Thank you!"
Medical history
Suraiya was suffering from pain, and couldn't eat properly. Suraiya needed Tonsillectomy as soon as possible. If had left untreated, there was a risk of serious diseases like tuberculosis and cancer. Tonsillectomy was conducted successfully. Now Suraiya is feeling better and is back to normal life. Due to some level of infection he needs to take antibiotics for 7 days. Suraiya's parents are very happy that the surgery went well. They are grateful to Helpster Heroes!
Prognosis
Enlarged tonsils can trap bacteria and viruses, leading to recurrent throat and ear infections. These infections can cause discomfort, pain, and may require repeated courses of antibiotics. An adenotonsillectomy is a medical procedure in which both the adenoids and tonsils are surgically removed. The adenoids are small glands located at the back of the throat, while the tonsils are situated on either side of the throat.
