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
Pneumonia is an infection that affects the lungs, causing the air sacs (alveoli) to become inflamed and filled with fluid or pus. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungi. People with pneumonia often experience symptoms such as cough, fever, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and general weakness. The severity of pneumonia can range from mild to life-threatening, especially in young children, the elderly, or individuals with weakened immune systems. Treatment typically includes antibiotics for bacterial pneumonia and supportive care such as rest, fluids, and fever-reducing medicines. Malaria is a serious disease caused by parasites that are transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It is most common in tropical and subtropical regions. The disease usually presents with symptoms such as high fever, chills, sweating, headache, and body aches. If not treated promptly, malaria can lead to severe complications and even death. Treatment involves the use of antimalarial medications, and prevention includes the use of insect repellent, mosquito nets, and prophylactic (preventive) drugs when traveling to high-risk areas. Tinea capitis is a contagious fungal infection of the scalp, also known as scalp ringworm. It is more common in children and spreads through close contact with infected individuals or contaminated objects like combs, hats, and pillows. The infection causes round, scaly patches on the scalp, hair loss in the affected areas, itching, and sometimes swollen lymph nodes. Treatment involves oral antifungal medications, as topical treatments alone are usually not sufficient. Medicated shampoos may also be recommended to help reduce the spread of the infection.

TIONYCARE HOSPITAL
SDA WARWA ROAD
Background
Logis Lomoit, a 12-year-old child living at Sunrise Children’s Home, was taken into the orphanage due to an ongoing violence case. She is currently enrolled in PP1 at the home’s preschool. Although she does not yet speak English or Kiswahili, she communicates in her native language and is gradually learning. When Tionycare Hospital, together with Vincent, a Helpster volunteer, visited the orphanage to explain how Helpster operates, that is how the institution learned about the organization. Logis had been well until three days ago, when she developed a cough accompanied by chest pain, sneezing, headache, fever, and scalp skin rashes. She was evaluated, diagnosed, and started on appropriate treatment. She is now recovering well and feeling much better.
Medical history
Logis Lomoit, an 8-year-old girl, was brought to the hospital with symptoms of cough, chest pain, sneezing, headache, fever, and scalp skin rashes. After a thorough examination, she was diagnosed with pneumonia, malaria, and tinea capitis, a fungal infection of the scalp. Her treatment began immediately and included ceftriaxone, cefixime, and dexamethasone for pneumonia; artemether injections for malaria; and terbinafine for the fungal infection. To relieve her symptoms, she was also given Zedcoril for her cough and ibuprofen to reduce fever and pain. With consistent care and medication, Logis responded well - her fever came down, her cough eased, and her scalp began to heal. After completing her treatment, she was discharged in good health, happy and well on her way to a full recovery.
Prognosis
Logis was assessed, diagnosed and given the necessary treatment. With appropriate treatment for malaria and pneumonia, Logis is expected to make a good recovery. Timely administration of antimalarial drugs and antibiotics was done, and along with supportive her symptoms should improve soon.
