Why is treatment done earlier than admission?

Sometimes, when a case is urgent and vital, hospitals may proceed with delivering medical care right away to save a life, even before the finalization 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.

Background

Kennedy is the second of five siblings in his family. He enjoys dancing, playing with his brothers and sisters, and looking after the family's cattle. In his free time, he often joins in on soccer games with friends. Kennedy has big dreams of becoming a pilot one day to help the community by providing clean water and making their area safer. Recently, he came to the facility because he's been having chest and joint pains.

Medical history

Kennedy was diagnosed with malaria and received treatment. He was given oral medication to take at home. Following the prescribed regimen, Kennedy used the medication and successfully recovered.

Outcome

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.
