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 liver & kidneys
Malaria is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease caused by parasites transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Once inside the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells, causing recurrent cycles of symptoms, including high fever, chills, fatigue, and, in severe cases, organ damage or failure.This stage of the disease is defined by the evidence of vital organ dysfunction.

Background
Sadiq is a 5-year-old child, and he lives with his father and his siblings. Although he's not in school right now, he really enjoys playing with a ball. He hopes to return to school one day to be with his friends. However, on the night of October 21, 2023, something concerning happened. Sadiq started saying strange words that worried his father. A few hours later, his body became very hot with a fever. His father tried to make him feel better by using a wet towel to cool him down. Unfortunately, the father couldn't afford to buy medicine for his son, so all he could do was pray for Sadiq to get well soon.
Medical history
Sadiq was examined by the nurse. After his vitals were taken, the file was sent to the Doctor where the Doctor questioned the father and the school. After evaluation, he was prescribed some drugs where he got it at the Hospital's pharmacy at the expense of Helpster Charity
Prognosis
Malaria should be treated promptly with the use of antimalarial drugs. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications and even death. It can result in organ failure, severe anemia, neurological issues, and in some cases, prove fatal, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial for preventing these life-threatening consequences.
