Primary Care
Primary Care is the first level of medical care provided to individuals by a healthcare professional. It involves assessing, diagnosing, preventing and treating medical conditions as well as providing referrals for medical care when necessary. It is the first port of call for individuals when seeking medical care and is often provided at a community-level healthcare facility or by a primary care doctor. Primary care is essential for overall health and wellbeing as it focuses on prevention, early diagnosis and management of both acute and chronic medical conditions. Additionally, primary care services can provide advice and educational resources to individuals to help them improve their health, reduce the risk of developing medical conditions and make informed lifestyle decisions. Primary care is the cornerstone of a strong healthcare system and plays a vital role in providing quality healthcare to individuals.
