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 malaria + enteric fever
Malaria and enteric fever are major tropical infections often occurring together. Malaria, spread by Anopheles mosquitoes, causes fever, chills, and weakness. Enteric fever, from Salmonella typhi, spreads through contaminated food or water, leading to prolonged fever and abdominal pain. Both can cause severe complications if untreated. Early diagnosis, appropriate antimalarial and antibiotic therapy, good hydration, and supportive care lead to full recovery and prevent serious outcomes.
