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.

Background
Khadija is an eight-year-old elementary school student, she is friendly, likes to read and dreams of becoming a doctor. About a week ago, she developed a fever, which is intermittent, accompanied by headache, abdominal cramps and occasional diarrhea. However, her parents only gave her traditional medicines. Despite the traditional mixtures, her condition worsened and the fever and vomiting did not stop.
Medical history
Khadija was admitted with symptoms of headache, fever, vomiting, dizziness, general body malaise, and anorexia. She was treated with medications for severe malaria and enteric fever. Khadija now feels much better.
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. Typhoid fever is typically treated with antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin or ceftriaxone. If left untreated, typhoid fever can lead to severe complications, including the spread of the infection to other organs and tissues, intestinal perforation, and in rare cases, life-threatening conditions such as sepsis or encephalitis. Timely treatment is crucial to prevent these serious outcomes.
