Family Medicine

Family medicine is a medical specialty focused on providing comprehensive, continuous healthcare for individuals and families across all ages, genders, and diseases. Family physicians are trained to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions, from acute illnesses and injuries to chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. They emphasize preventive care, health education, and the management of overall well-being, often serving as the first point of contact in the healthcare system. Family medicine also involves coordinating care with specialists when needed and addressing the physical, emotional, and social aspects of health within the context of the family and community.
