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 + enteric fever
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, leading to fever, chills, and body weakness. Enteric fever (typhoid) is a bacterial infection from contaminated food or water, causing high fever, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Both are common in tropical regions and can become severe without early treatment. Proper diagnosis, antibiotics or antimalarials, and good hygiene are key to recovery and prevention.

Background
Salisu is 3 years old. He is the last among 5 children. He lives with his parents and the parents are making plans of enrolling him to a government nursery school. He has been having fever for the past 4 days, drugs were bought from the chemist but there's still no improvement on the health that is why they came to Albishir for him to be properly evaluated. On presentation at our hospital, Salisu was evaluated and diagnosed with Malaria and Enteric Fever.
Medical history
The patient was admitted with a diagnosis of malaria and enteric fever, presenting with fever, chills, abdominal discomfort, and weakness. He was treated with a full course of antimalarial drugs alongside appropriate antibiotics, supported with fluids, antipyretics, and nutritional care. Over the course of treatment, his fever subsided, abdominal symptoms improved, and his overall strength and appetite returned. At discharge, he is clinically stable, afebrile, tolerating diet well, and has regained good hydration status. He was advised to complete all prescribed medications, maintain adequate rest, nutrition, mosquito prevention, and proper hygiene, with a follow-up appointment scheduled for continued recovery monitoring.
Prognosis
With prompt treatment, the prognosis for both malaria and enteric fever is generally good. Delayed care may lead to serious complications like cerebral malaria or intestinal perforation. Early diagnosis, medication, and supportive care greatly improve recovery outcomes.
