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 immune system
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. It is characterized by symptoms like fever, fatigue, vomiting, and headaches, and can be severe or even fatal in some cases. Malaria is preventable and treatable, with artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) being the most effective treatment, particularly for Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Upper respiratory infections (URIs) are viruses and bacteria that infect your respiratory tract above your vocal cords. Symptoms can include a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat or headache. Common colds, strep throat and sinus infections are all examples of upper respiratory infections.
