Primary Care

Primary care refers to the first point of contact in the healthcare system, where individuals receive comprehensive, ongoing care for common health issues and preventive services. It involves services provided by general practitioners, family physicians, internists, pediatricians, and others. Primary care focuses on overall health management, addressing everyday health concerns, coordinating treatments, and referring patients to specialists when necessary. It emphasizes a patient-centered approach, promoting long-term relationships between patients and providers to ensure continuity of care, health education, and wellness promotion, ultimately helping to improve the health of communities.
