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 + rti
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, presenting with fever, chills, sweating, and anemia. Respiratory tract infection affects the airways and lungs, commonly caused by bacteria or viruses, leading to cough, fever, sore throat, and chest pain. When both occur together, they can worsen weakness, dehydration, and breathing difficulty.
