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 digestion system
Severe malaria is a life-threatening complication, usually from Plasmodium falciparum, characterized by vital organ dysfunction, often due to blocked blood vessels, and requires immediate emergency care Acute gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines, often called the "stomach flu," causing watery diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and cramps, usually from viruses or contaminated food/water, lasting less than two weeks and primarily treated with rehydration. Severe malaria and acute gastroenteritis (AGE) are both critical conditions that often present with overlapping symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, and fever. When they occur together, or when one mimics the other, they can lead to rapid dehydration and life-threatening complications.
