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
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
Charles is focused on his studies and would like to be a musician when he grows up. He says that music does magic to the soul and makes people happy, and he would like to make people happy. He likes reading and traveling as well. He was well until a few days ago when he fell ill with general body aches and general body malaise which has been getting worse over the past few days.
Medical history
Charles was diagnosed with severe malaria, which was complicated by other bacterial infections. He was admitted to the hospital for inpatient treatment for two days, during which he received the appropriate medication. Afterward, he was discharged from the hospital.
Prognosis
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.
