Home medical care

If you feel unwell, the first thing to do is to see a doctor for treatment, but this is not always possible. If you are unable to come to the clinic, it is better to make a house-call for examination, examination and treatment.

When do I need to make a house-call for a doctor?

• fever;

• body aches and pains;

• headache;

• cough;

• runny nose;

• sore throat;

• dizziness;

• trembling in the hands;

• changes in blood pressure;

• double vision;

• pain in the abdomen;

• nausea vomiting;

• heartburn;

• digestive disorders.

Patients who notice one of these symptoms often try to wait in the hope that it will get better, but any disease without adequate treatment is longer and more severe. Often they are accompanied by complications and can turn into chronic diseases. For example, an untreated cold can turn into chronic bronchitis or even pneumonia.

This applies to adults, and even more so to children, whose bodies are much more vulnerable.

By making a house-call for a doctor, you will save your time and effort by receiving a full-fledged visit from a specialist in the comfort of your home!

When you call a doctor, you get a full examination and consultation with a doctor, just like in the case of a visit to a clinic. It is also possible to take tests and ECG (electrocardiogram) at home.

It is also possible for a nurse to visit you at home, who can give you an injection, put in a drip, or make a bandage.

Experienced nurses travel to all districts of Yaoundé and the suburbs within a 30 km radius. They arrive at a convenient time and perform all medical procedures prescribed by the doctor.
