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
Sheryl was diagnosed with Malaria and an Urinary Tract Infection. Severe malaria occurs when infections are complicated by serious organ failures or abnormalities in the patient's blood or metabolism. A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that affects any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. UTIs occur when bacteria, typically from the digestive tract, enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply, causing an infection.

Background
Sheryl is a kind-hearted fourteen-year-old girl who excels in mathematics, her favorite subject. She enjoys playing with numbers and hopes to become a teacher after finishing school to share her passion. Teachers are fond of her for being obedient and hardworking. About two days ago, she complained of a headache, fever and pain in the lower abdomen. She was later taken to a facility for examination and subsequently hospitalized for further investigation and treatment.
Medical history
Sheryl presented to the hospital with complains of headache and dizziness. She was examined by the doctor and later taken to the laboratory for tests to confirm the diagnosis. She responded well to the treatment that she was given and was fit for discharge by the 4th day of being in the hospital.
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. The infection should be treated immediately, since it may spread onto kidneys, if left untreated. It will also keep causing pain and discomfort if the treatment is not received.
