Community Medicine

Community Medicine, in the context of Family Medicine, focuses on the health and well-being of entire populations rather than just individuals. It examines how social, economic, and environmental factors affect health in communities. Family Medicine practitioners work not only to treat illnesses but also to promote preventive care, educate families about healthy practices, and address community health challenges. This approach encourages collaboration among healthcare providers, families, and community resources to improve health outcomes and ensure that everyone has access to the care they need. Ultimately, it aims to enhance the quality of life for all community members.
