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.

About -malaria
-Sickle cell disease When malaria parasite enters the body, it infects the red blood cells. The sickle shaped RBCs create very hostile environment for the parasite's growth and a decrease in growth may allow more time for the immune system to react and destroy the infected RBCs and thus leading to sickle cell anemia.
Thank you for saving this life!

Background
Wycliffe is a hardworking boy with a hearing impairment who lives with his single mother and three siblings. He excels in school and aspires to become a special needs teacher to help other children with hearing impairments. Wycliffe also has a passion for theater and enjoys participating in dance and theater festivals. Recently, Wycliffe had been experiencing a throbbing headache for two days, accompanied by general body malaise and chest pain. By the time he was brought to the hospital, he had developed a fever and had grown weak.
Medical history
Wycliffe was admitted on May 30, 2024, for five days and received intravenous medication, to which he responded very well. After feeling better, he was discharged in a stable condition on June 3, 2024, with a prescription for oral medication. He was scheduled for a follow-up review on June 15, 2024, which he attended, and his progress was confirmed to be good. His aunt is equally pleased with his recovery, as he is now able to return to school and sit for his exams.
Prognosis
The prognosis is good as the patient has been brought to the hospital in good time for management. The patient will be able to regain his health and continue with his studies like any other student in school. If left untreated, Malaria poses a greater risk of death in people with sickle cell disease because malaria can trigger the sickle cell crisis.
