Family medicine is the medical specialty that follows the patient as a whole and continuously. The general practitioner or family doctor is the health contact for families.
He receives patients of all ages and is often the doctor to whom the patient first turns. They are involved in health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
They also have an important role in listening and providing clear messages to be properly understood.
