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 enteric fever + malaria
Malaria is a mosquito-borne parasitic disease that causes fever, chills, sweating, and weakness, and can lead to severe complications if untreated, but is preventable and curable with early treatment. Hamza was presented with the above complaints, though not showing any signs of complications. Enteric fever (typhoid fever) is a bacterial infection spread through contaminated food and water, presenting with prolonged fever, abdominal pain, and digestive upset, and responds well to antibiotics and proper care, while prevention depends on good hygiene and sanitation.
Thank you for saving this life!
