In Cameroon, a nonprofit group of doctors has started to make home visits, the first program of its kind in the country.

Medical experts say they understand this but urge patients to continue to stay in touch with doctors and hospitals.

The group SOS Doctors Cameroon includes 30 doctors in five cities.

Despite the cost, SOS Doctors Cameroon said requests for home visits have jumped from about 20 in March to about 100 per month.

And the medical aid group is continuing to find new ways to provide service, said SOS Doctors Cameroon President Dr. Fernand Ombolo.
