The family doctor is the orchestrator of care for the individual patient. Community Occupation, culture and other unique aspects of the community are important factors in patient care. Knowing what are the common diseases and health problems in the community influences the diagnosis and treatment of family physicians, and helps them make decisions about community education and service. The family system influences both health and disease in individuals. This knowledge is utilised both in the diagnostic work and in the treatment of patients.
Prevention Is always better than cure.
