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 emergency care
Severe malaria is a life-threatening progression of a malaria infection characterized by clinical or laboratory evidence of vital organ dysfunction, while Severe anemia is a critical medical condition where the body suffers from a drastic shortage of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin, typically defined as a hemoglobin concentration below 5 g/dL. This extreme deficiency severely impairs the blood's capacity to transport oxygen, leading to tissue hypoxia, heart failure, and potential death if left untreated
