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 potentially life-threatening infectious disease caused by parasites transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Once inside the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells, causing recurrent cycles of symptoms, including high fever, chills, fatigue, and, in severe cases, organ damage or failure.This stage of the disease is defined by the evidence of vital organ dysfunction.

Background
Beniah is a four years old boy living with his parents. He has not yet begun school; he is a very active boy who likes to play football with the ball his father bought for him. Beniah has been unwell for the past week, complaining about abdominal pain. His father also reports that the child has been coughing a lot and has a fever.
Medical history
Beniah's family initially delayed bringing him to the hospital due to financial constraints. However, as his condition worsened, they had no choice but to seek medical help. Beniah had been unwell for the past week, experiencing fever, abdominal pain, and a cough. Upon arrival, he was treated promptly and responded well to the treatment.
Prognosis
Malaria should be treated promptly with the use of antimalarial drugs. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications and even death. It can result in organ failure, severe anemia, neurological issues, and in some cases, prove fatal, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial for preventing these life-threatening consequences.
