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
Hazrat, a 6-month-old boy, resides with his parents in a tin shed in the Narayanganj city slums. His father is the sole breadwinner, employed as a van driver. However, his income is insufficient to meet the needs of their five-member family. Consequently, they are unable to afford Hazrat's necessary medical treatment, causing great concern for the family. Hazrat's health continues to deteriorate each day, heightening their worries. Recently, they learned about Helpster and contacted Narayanganj Polyclinic, a hospital partnered with Helpster Charity. Hazrat was admitted to the hospital today. Hazrat's father expressed gratitude for the newfound hope, noting the challenges faced in government hospitals due to overcrowding, medication shortages, and inadequate facilities. He appealed to Helpster Heroes for financial assistance, acknowledging the importance of continued support.
Medical history
Hazrat, a baby boy just over 6 months old, was battling severe pneumonia. Despite several courses of antibiotics from the local pharmacy and government hospital, his condition continued to decline. He required emergency hospitalization. During his treatment, Hazrat received oxygen therapy, nebulization with sulbutamol, ipratropium bromide, and budesonide, along with injectable antibiotics, as his condition was quite serious. Fortunately, he is now doing well and back home, his parents beaming with smiles. Hazrat's parents are incredibly grateful to the Helpster Heroes and the Narayanganj Polyclinic Team for saving their child!
Prognosis
Hazrat was diagnosed with severe pneumonia, a life-threatening condition requiring urgent intervention. He was admitted for emergency treatment, receiving injectable antibiotics, steroids, nebulization, and oxygen therapy. Without prompt medical attention, severe respiratory tract infection may develop, leading to sepsis and potential fatality.
