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 malaria + enteric fever
Malaria is a potentially life-threatening infectious disease caused by parasites transmitted to humans through the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Once inside the human body, the parasites multiply in the liver and then infect red blood cells, causing recurrent cycles of symptoms, including high fever, chills, fatigue, and, in severe cases, organ damage or failure.This stage of the disease is defined by the evidence of vital organ dysfunction.

Background
Favour is a 10-year-old girl in the 5th grade. She enjoys reading and having fun with her friends. Her favorite subject is English, and she dreams of becoming a Medical Doctor someday. But recently, Favour got sick and had to miss school for three days. She felt weak, had a headache, and couldn't go to school. When her uncle heard about Helpster, he brought her to get medical help. The doctors found out that Favour has Malaria and Enteric Fever. She needs urgent medical treatment to get better.
Medical history
Favour was given proper medical attention. Her vitals were taken before she was examined by the Doctor and she was treated for malarial with antimalarials and the Enteric fever was treated with appropriate antibiotics. She was treated as an outpatient and medications were taken at home for 3 days and her conditions improved significantly.
Prognosis
Malaria should be treated promptly with the use of antimalarial drugs with good prognosis. 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.
