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.

Medical history
Khadijah is a 3-year-old female child who was well until 2 months ago when she started being ill and was treated severally.Presently complains of headache, fever, abdominal pain and loss of appetite and also coughing. On examination, she looks febrile++ not jaundiced, not pale, not cyanotic. Tachypneic and tachycardia. She was diagnosed with enteritis and severe malaria. She was treated with injection antimalarials, injection antibiotics and other supportive care. She was stable and discharged, to be returned for follow up in 1 week. Her family are excited and extended gratitude to Helpster Charity and the medical team for their efforts.
Prognosis
Khadija’s symptoms on presentation are suggestive of enteritis and severe malaria, making her quite sick and if she is not immediately treated it can quite complicated. The combination of enteritis and severe malaria in a child can cause critical complications like severe dehydration, profound anemia, and hypovolemic or septic shock due to massive fluid loss and destroyed red blood cells. If left untreated, this can rapidly progress to electrolyte imbalances, acute kidney injury, multi-organ failure, or death. Prognosis is favorable with prompt treatment, though delayed care may lead to serious complications or death.
