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 severe malaria in pregnancy
Severe malaria in pregnancy is a life-threatening complication caused mainly by Plasmodium falciparum infection. It is characterized by high fever, chills, severe anemia, hypoglycemia, jaundice, and possible organ dysfunction. Pregnant women are more susceptible due to lowered immunity and placental sequestration of parasites. Clinical features may include persistent vomiting, weakness, convulsions, respiratory distress, and altered consciousness. The condition can lead to serious maternal and fetal complications such as miscarriage, premature delivery, low birth weight, fetal distress, or stillbirth.
