Primary Care

Primary care medicine is the frontline of healthcare, providing comprehensive and continuous care to individuals and families. It focuses on preventing, diagnosing, and managing a wide range of health issues, including acute illnesses, chronic conditions, and general wellness. Primary care physicians (PCPs), such as family doctors, internists, or pediatricians, often serve as the first point of contact for patients. They emphasize patient-centered care, health education, and preventive measures, coordinating with specialists when more advanced or specific treatment is needed.

Preventive Health

General preventive health medicine focuses on maintaining health and preventing disease before it occurs. It involves proactive measures such as routine screenings, vaccinations, lifestyle counseling, and risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential health issues early. This field emphasizes healthy behaviors, early detection of conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or cancer, and interventions to reduce risk factors such as smoking, poor diet, and inactivity. By promoting wellness and reducing the burden of disease, preventive health medicine aims to improve quality of life and lower healthcare costs for individuals and communities.
