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 infections
Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite. The parasite is spread to humans through the bites of infected mosquitoes. People who have malaria usually feel very sick with a high fever and shaking chills. While the disease is uncommon in temperate climates, malaria is still common in tropical and subtropical countries.

Background
Oliver lives with his mother. He is amongst the best performing students in his class and he would like to me a medical doctor when he grows up. He likes playing football and likes dancing too. He is a member of the musical theater club in their school, always representing his school in the inter-school music festivals. About a day ago, Oliver begun complaining of a headache, fevers and vomiting. He was vomiting after eating or drinking anything and this was associated with abdominal pain. His mother did not have money to bring him to the hospital and have him treated, but since she is aware of Helpster Charity, she quickly brought Oliver to the hospital.
Medical history
When Oliver was rushed to the hospital, with a throbbing headache and vomiting profusely, her mother feared the worst. His condition had taken a sudden turn for the worse. Without financial means to seek urgent care, his mother was overwhelmed with worry. Fortunately, Helpster Charity stepped in just in time. Upon admission, he was immediately put on IV Quinine, followed by a course of AL 3 tablets. To manage any infections and discomfort, he was also given IV Ceftriaxone and Paracetamol tablets. Thanks to the prompt medical attention and the support from Helpster Charity, Oliver made a remarkable recovery. After a few days in the hospital, he was stable enough to be discharged with a prescription for Amoxyl capsules. Four days after leaving the hospital, Oliver returned for a review. The doctors confirmed that he was progressing well, much to the relief of his mother. Helpster Charity’s intervention had not only saved Oliver’s life but had also given his mother renewed hope. With continued support, Helpster Charity remains committed to ensuring that underprivileged children like Oliver receive the care they need, giving them a second chance at life.
