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
Kingsley is a polite and respectful child who is the oldest of two siblings. He lives with his dad and his paternal grandmother. Kingsley enjoys playing soccer, but he also takes his schoolwork seriously because he dreams of becoming a mechanical engineer when he grows up. Everything seemed fine with Kingsley until the day before he went to the hospital. On that day, he started complaining about having pain in his joints, and he also had episodes of shivering and feeling very cold.
Medical history
Upon being brought to the laboratory, it was determined that Kingsley had a severe case of malaria, necessitating his admission to the hospital ward. He received a treatment regimen that included antimalarial medication, pain relievers, and antibiotics.
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.
