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
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
Fatima is a one-year-old girl from a poor family. Her dad works as a security guard, and her mom makes hats to help make ends meet. About three days ago, Fatima got sick and was taken to the hospital. She had a fever, was throwing up, didn't want to eat, had a seizure, and had diarrhea. The doctors said she has severe malaria and started treating her for it.
Medical history
Fatima, a one-year-old girl from a poor family, was brought to UMD Hospital three days ago. Her father works as a security guard, and her mother makes hats to help support the family. Fatima was sick with a fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, seizures, and diarrhea. The doctors diagnosed her with severe malaria and began treatment. She was admitted on February 7, 2024, and discharged on February 9, 2024. Fatima is now feeling much better, and all her symptoms have disappeared.
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.
