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
Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues. The second disease, 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
Jonah is a seven years old child who innocently told the doctor that apart from feeling sick, he is also hungry. He went further and said that his mother can only afford to make for them one meal a day, that is in the evening. He presented to the hospital with abdominal discomfort, vomiting, cough, general body malaise and hotness of the body for the past 4 days. He would like to be a doctor when he grows up and likes to play football in his free time.
Medical history
Jonah had never been to the hospital since childhood, making this his first visit. He had been experiencing general body malaise, vomiting, cough, and fever for the past three days. After a thorough examination, the doctor sent Jonah to the laboratory for further investigations. He received treatment and fully recovered.
Prognosis
Treatments for anemia might involve taking supplements or having medical procedures. Eating a healthy diet might prevent some forms of anemia. 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.
