A general practitioner performs health services in general practice. Also known as family physicians or family doctors, they are the primary providers of health management services.
General practitioners have unique attitudes, skills, and knowledge that qualify them to provide continuous and comprehensive medical care, care, health maintenance, and preventive services to each member of the family.
General practitioners are generally versatile in dealing with common and frequent diseases and general emergencies in the form of outpatient clinics; another feature of the work of community general practitioners is home visits, where general practitioners often deal with the family's patients in the form of home visits to set up their own home hospital beds and their own medical records according to the patients' different circumstances.
