médecine générale

Médecine générale, or general practice, is a medical specialty focused on comprehensive healthcare for individuals of all ages. General practitioners (GPs) diagnose and treat a wide range of health conditions, manage ongoing medical issues, and promote preventive care. They often serve as the first point of contact in the healthcare system, providing continuity of care, health advice, and referrals to specialists when necessary. Their approach emphasizes understanding the patient’s overall health, lifestyle, and social context to support long-term well-being.
