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
Aisha, who is 9 years old and the second child in her family, goes to an Islamic school and really enjoys sewing Hausa caps. On December 28th, her mom noticed that Aisha was having a high fever and stomach pains. But they didn't go to the hospital right away. It was only a few days later, after learning about the Helpster Charity, that her mom decided to take her for medical help.
Medical history

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.
