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 urology
Acute malaria is an infection caused by Plasmodium parasites, most commonly Plasmodium falciparum, transmitted through mosquito bites. It presents with sudden onset of high-grade fever, chills, headache, generalized weakness, and sometimes vomiting or loss of appetite. Prompt treatment with antimalarial drugs and supportive care is essential to relieve symptoms and prevent progression to severe malaria, which can cause anemia, organ failure, or cerebral involvement.
