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
Kennedy is the second of five siblings in his family. He enjoys dancing, playing with his brothers and sisters, and looking after the family's cattle. In his free time, he often joins in on soccer games with friends. Kennedy has big dreams of becoming a pilot one day to help the community by providing clean water and making their area safer. Recently, he came to the facility because he's been having chest and joint pains.
Medical history
Kennedy was diagnosed with malaria and received treatment. He was given oral medication to take at home. Following the prescribed regimen, Kennedy used the medication and successfully recovered.
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.
