Because of poverty of the patients many of them did not able to pursue the treatment because they don’t have enough money to buy the medicine or to provide for the things needed for
the operation, so they were ask to leave the hospital for other patients to come in. Some were in a situation that they need to come back for their follow up check-ups, so others decided to stay outside the hospital to wait for the following day because of their financial problem.
