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
Severe malaria typically occurs due to delayed treatment of uncomplicated malaria. This stage of the disease is defined by clinical or laboratory evidence of vital organ dysfunction. Nearly all deaths from severe malaria result from infections with P. falciparum, although P. vivax and P. Pharyngitis is a condition that causes irritation, inflammation or infection of the pharynx, and particularly its lymphoid tissue. Acute pharyngitis is an infection caused by viruses or bacteria. Severe acute malnutrition is defined by very low weight-for-height/length (Z- score below -3 SD of the median WHO child growth standards), or a mid-upper arm circumference < 115 mm, or by the presence of nutritional oedema. Severe Acute Malnutrition is both a medical and social disorder

Prognosis
Severe Malaria is caused by the parasites, not by a virus or by a type of bacterium. If it isn't treated, malaria can cause severe health problems such as seizures, brain damage, trouble breathing, organ failure and death. They are 11 times more likely to die than healthy children. Even if a child survives acute malnutrition, they often face long-lasting harmful effects from it. Acute malnutrition can negatively impact physical and mental development, especially in children under the age of five who are in a critical period of growth.
