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 infections
Gastroenteritis is inflammation that spreads from your stomach into your intestines, causing pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Malaria is a life-threatening disease caused by parasites transmitted to humans through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Dehydration is a condition in which you lose so much body fluid that your body can't function normally. It occurs when you lose more fluids than you take in

Background
Noela, the youngest child in her family, lives with her parents and four siblings in a single-room rented house. Her mother is unemployed, leaving her father, a welder, as the sole provider for the family. One Thursday evening, Noela’s mother found her crying and experiencing episodes of vomiting and diarrhea. She took Noela to a nearby health chemist, where she was treated with no much investigation done since they were unable to afford the laboratory tests, she was given over the counter medication. However, by the middle of the following week, after completing the prescribed medication, there was no improvement and she seemed to be getting worse. Concerned, her mother decided to take her to Future Life Hospital for further care.
Medical history
Talia was brought to the hospital with complains of vomiting, diarrhea. Her lab results shewed she was suffering from malaria, she had a gastroenteritis infection and she was dehydrated. She was admitted in the ward for a number of days. During her stay in the wards she was treated with IV Artesunaten ceftriaxone, flagyl, zinc sulphate among other drugs. She responded well to treatment and she was eventually discharged on oral. A visit to the home c0nfirmed that Talia had made a full recovery and she was going about her normal life.
Prognosis
Noela received appropriate antimalarial therapy and aggressive rehydration therapy, and the prognosis is generally good. Noela will hopefully respond well within a few days, with gradual resolution of vomiting, diarrhea, and fever.
