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
Meet Michael, a seven-year-old boy living with his mom. He enjoys playing football and swimming, with a big dream of becoming the best swimmer globally. Michael's mom works hard every day to make sure they have enough to eat. Recently, Michael got sick with a fever, loss of appetite, and overall body discomfort. Because of financial struggles, they couldn't afford a hospital visit, and Michael stayed home for three days. A neighbor told Michael's mom about Helpster Charity, and that led her to bring Michael to Ashburn Hospital for assistance.
Medical history
Michael got sick with a fever, loss of appetite, and overall body discomfort. Because of financial struggles, they couldn't afford a hospital visit, and Michael stayed home for three days. A neighbor told Michael's mom about Helpster Charity, and that led her to bring Michael to Ashburn Hospital for assistance. He was diagnosed with severe malaria, and was treated and discharged. He is progressing well
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.
