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 is a mosquito-borne infection caused by Plasmodium parasites, leading to fever, chills, headache, and body weakness due to destruction of red blood cells. Enteric fever (typhoid) is a bacterial infection caused by Salmonella typhi, presenting with prolonged fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation, and loss of appetite. When both occur together, they cause severe weakness, high fever, and dehydration.
