The general practitioner (also called primary care physician, family physician or medical practitioner) is the primary care provider who is capable of managing the majority of health problems (illness or accident), whether they be acute or chronic conditions.
He is also in charge of the total management of the patient, providing coordination for access to specialists and advanced investigations when necessary.
By virtue of the privileged relationship they establish with their patients, our general practitioners are the trusted and standard contacts for long-term follow-up of each patient.
