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.

Prognosis
Malnutrition can stunt growth and development in children, leading to long-term physical and cognitive deficits. Severe malnutrition can lead to dysfunction of vital organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, which can be life-threatening. Malnutrition is typically treated by addressing both the immediate nutritional needs of the individual and the underlying causes of malnutrition.
