Family Medicine

Family doctors are the only experts qualified to handle the majority of illnesses and offer comprehensive healthcare for individuals of all ages, from infants to seniors, unlike other specializations that are restricted to a specific organ or condition. Such as:

1. Taking care of patients no matter their age or state of health while maintaining a long-lasting and reliable relationship
2. Understanding socioeconomic determinants of health and community-level factors
3. Acting as the patient’s initial point of contact for health issues
4. Guiding patients through the health care system, including follow-up and coordination of specialist and hospital treatment
5. Utilizing data and technology to improve care and coordinate services
6. Taking into account how a patient’s condition may affect their family
