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 blood
Severe malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is preventable and curable. The disease is caused by one of five species of Plasmodium parasites, with P. falciparum and P. vivax being the most dangerous. Tonsillitis is the inflammation of the tonsils, which are two oval-shaped lymphoid tissues located at the back of the throat.

Background
Justus lives with his grandmother, as his father is unable to care for him due to financial difficulties. His sister stays with a different relative. His mother passed away when he was still an infant. Justus dreams of becoming a lawyer so he can advocate for the less fortunate. He enjoys playing football at school and is known for his cheerful personality. He had been in good health until two days ago when he began experiencing symptoms such as fever, headache, chills, and a sore throat, which caused him to miss school. He visited a health facility for treatment, where he was diagnosed with malaria.
Medical history
Justus was brought to the hospital experiencing fever, headache, chills, and throat pain. Lab tests were done and he was diagnosed with malaria and tonsillitis. He was therefore admitted to the wards where he was treated with a number of medications, including Diazepam and Artesunate. He also received broad-spectrum antibiotics. Justus responded well to medication and was later discharged on orals. Justus is currently recovered and has since resumed with his school.
Prognosis
The prognosis for malaria, while potentially serious without treatment, is generally good with prompt and correct diagnosis and treatment. Untreated severe malaria can be fatal. Justus has been admitted for better care
