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 infections
Severe malaria is a life-threatening form of malaria that affects vital organs and requires urgent hospital treatment. Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes inflammation and fluid in the air sacs, leading to cough, fever, chest pain, and difficulty breathing. Mild anemia is a slight reduction in red blood cells or hemoglobin, reducing oxygen delivery to tissues and causing fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and reduced physical endurance.
