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
Mark is a secondary school pupil who enjoys playing football and has represented his school in the national competitions. After completion of his studies, he would like to be an engineer when he grows up. He developed a fever a few days ago, associated with loss of appetite, vomiting and a severe headache, and this prompted his teachers to bring him to the hospital.
Medical history
Mark had a fever a few days ago, associated with loss of appetite, vomiting and a severe headache, and this prompted his teachers to bring him to the hospital. He was diagnosed with malaria and treated as an outpatient. The treatment enabled him to resume his class well.
Outcome
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. 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.
