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
Cerebral Malaria is one of the presentations of a complicated/severe malaria. It presents with symptoms of the nervous system in addition to the normal symptoms of malaria. It occurs when simple malaria is left untreated or inappropriately treated. It usually affects but not limited to children, pregnant women sickle cell Diseased and people from non-tropical areas. Hypoglycemia is a decrease in the blood sugar level, below a certain range for age. It also occurs as one of the presentations of severe malaria. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's immune system has an extreme, damaging response to an infection.
