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 common infectious diseases in tropical regions. Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted through mosquito bites, presents with fever, chills, headache, and body weakness. Enteric fever, caused by Salmonella typhi, spreads through contaminated food or water and leads to prolonged fever, abdominal pain, and general malaise. Both conditions can occur together, causing severe illness. Early diagnosis, appropriate drugs, hydration, and rest ensure good recovery and prevent complications.
