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 and respiratory tract infection (RTI) are common illnesses, especially in tropical regions, and both often present with fever, making diagnosis sometimes challenging. Malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes and is characterized by cyclical fever, chills, sweating, headache, and body weakness. RTI, which can be upper or lower, is caused by bacteria or viruses and presents with cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, chest pain, and breathing difficulty. Proper diagnosis through blood tests for malaria and clinical or laboratory evaluation for RTI is essential. Both conditions require timely treatment—antimalarials for malaria and antibiotics or antivirals for RTI—to ensure full recovery and prevent complications.

Background
Raihanatu is 1 years old, she is the 2nd child of her parents, she has one sibling. The father is a trader and the mother is a house wife. They are living in a house that belongs to them having 2 rooms and a single toilet. Raihanatu has been fever, cough and vomited 3 times, she has been having sleepless nights because of cough. The parents were very worried knowing they don't have the money to take her to the hospital. An outreach made them get in contact with Helpster Charity and they brought her for evaluation. On presentation at our hospital, and after proper evaluation, she was diagnosed with malaria and respiratory tract infection
Medical history
Raihanatu a 1 year old female child was brought to Albishir clinic with symptoms of malaria accompanied with cough and vomiting. She was admitted and diagnosed with Malaria and respiratory tract infection. Treatment commenced with injection antimalarials, injection antibiotics and other supportive care. She was stabilized, coughing stopped, she was discharged with some take home orals and was scheduled for follow-up. The family are very happy and grateful to Helpster Charity for their support.
Prognosis
The prognosis for malaria and respiratory tract infections (RTIs) is generally favorable with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Most patients achieve full recovery when administered effective antimalarial therapy for malaria and suitable antibiotics or supportive care for RTI. However, if left untreated or poorly managed, malaria may progress to severe disease, leading to anemia or organ dysfunction, while RTI can result in complications such as pneumonia or respiratory distress. Prompt medical attention and adequate supportive management significantly improve outcomes for both conditions.
