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
Samuel had been ill for quite some time and his parents hoped he would get better, but instead, his condition worsened. They did not have any money to take him to the hospital. He started vomiting, had no appetite, and felt very hot. When he began having convulsions, they rushed him to the hospital where he was immediately wheeled to the emergency unit. After the convulsions had been controlled, further physical examination was done together with laboratory investigations. He was appropriately treated and discharged in a stable condition.
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.
