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
Carlos is a 2-year-old boy who lives with his grandmother. He's usually very happy, but it's easy to tell when he's not feeling well. He's been sick for the past 5 days with a fever and hasn't wanted to eat. His grandmother gave him some medicine she bought at the local store, but when he started shaking, they rushed him to the hospital.
Medical history
He had shown signs of illness a few days prior to coming to the hospital, and was taken to a near by chemist to buy drugs that can relieve pain but the situation got worse as he started to convulse. After learning about Helpster Charity from the village elder, they decided to seek further treatment at Bokoli sub county Hospital.The team of medical professionals at the hospital assessed his condition and immediately put him on treatment after making the diagnosis .
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.
