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 human disease that is caused by sporozoan parasites (genus Plasmodium) in the red blood cells, is transmitted by the bite of anopheline mosquitoes, and is characterized by periodic attacks of chills and fever. Pneumonia is an inflammatory lung infection that causes air sacs (alveoli) to fill with fluid or pus, leading to symptoms like cough, fever, and difficulty breathing

Background
Melvin and his sibling have been living with their grandparents ever since when they were very young after their mother left to look for a job and never returned. He is a humble and polite boy who enjoys playing basketball and football at school. Melvin is also a dedicated student who dreams of becoming a lawyer in the future. He was brought to the hospital by a Good Samaritan who found him lying by the roadside in severe pain. At the time, he was experiencing a severe headache, vomiting, diarrhea, and high fever. Upon arrival, he was promptly examined, laboratory tests were conducted, and treatment was initiated immediately. After two days of admission, Melvin’s condition has significantly improved—he is now able to sit up, eat, and the vomiting has completely stopped.
