Why is treatment done earlier than admission?

Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization 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

Sandra lives with her parents, two siblings and a cousin. Her father is a boda boda rider on a rented motorcycle. The family lives in their ancestral home with 4 households and 2 pit latrines. All the houses have mud walls and corrugated iron sheet roofs. They get water from a protected well dug. Sandra has had hotness of body and for the past 2 days has been crying as she holds her stomach, or passes urine. Admission date - 6. Jun 2023. Treatment date - 6 Jun 2023. Discharge date - 6. Jun 2023.

Medical history

Sandra came to the hospital with symptoms of abdominal pain and crying whenever she passed urine. After laboratory tests and confirmation of diagnosis, Sandra was put on medication which she responded well to and now she is back to normal health again. Sandra's parents were really thankful for the money they received to help with their child's treatment. They had been very worried because they couldn't afford the medicine, but after getting the help, they left the hospital with big smiles on their faces.

Outcome

Sandra was presented to Bokoli Subcounty Hospital with low abdominal pain and difficulty with passing urine. The patient was diagnosed with urinary tract infection. If not treated, the pain and discomfort will persist, and the infection may lead to kidney damage.
