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 emergency care
Severe malaria is a life-threatening medical emergency caused by malaria parasites (usually Plasmodium falciparum) leading to vital organ dysfunction, defined by symptoms like coma, seizures, severe anemia, respiratory distress, kidney failure, or shock, often resulting from delayed treatment of uncomplicated malaria. It requires immediate, intensive care, as it can progress rapidly and cause death within hours or days, particularly in young children.
