The Role of General Physicians in Modern Day Healthcare*
A General Physician (GP), also known as a Family Doctor or Primary Care Physician, plays a central role in the healthcare system, providing essential services ranging from preventive care to managing chronic conditions. They offer medical care for all age groups and often serve as the first point of contact for individuals seeking healthcare.

Primary healthcare is the foundation of the healthcare system. It helps in promoting health, preventing diseases, and managing ongoing conditions. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasizes the significance of primary healthcare in ensuring universal health coverage and advancing health equity. General Physicians, along with nurses and other allied health professionals, are crucial in delivering these services.
