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
Consolata is a cheerful and diligent girl with big dreams of becoming a journalist one day. She's also a fan of playing football. She lives with her grandmother in a church where other kids who don't have parents stay. Today, she wasn't feeling well when she went to school. She had a headache, fever, and felt dizzy, so the school allowed her to go to the doctor for help.
Medical history
Consolata visited the hospital complaining of a headache, nausea, and lethargy. Despite trying over-the-counter medication, she didn't see any improvement. Consequently, she sought treatment at our facility. After testing positive for malaria, Consolata received medication and began a daily antimalarial injection. With this treatment, she recovered and left the hospital feeling happy and relieved.
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.
