According to the health department, the role of public health doctors in family doctors mainly includes the following points:

As an important part of family doctors, public health doctors can provide comprehensive, continuous and personalized health services for contracted residents together with other types of clinicians (including Chinese medicine), rural doctors and retired clinicians.

Public health doctors can use their professional advantages to provide public health services such as preventive health care for contracted residents, implement basic public health services and other public health services for contracted residents, strengthen guidance on chronic disease prevention, and promote the opening of electronic health records to contracted residents.

Public health doctors can provide contracted residents with prevention, monitoring and treatment of major diseases, especially infectious diseases, supervision and control of food, medicines, public health, and related health promotion, health education, immunization and other services under the guidance of centers for disease control, health supervision institutions, maternal and child health care institutions and other units.

Public health doctors can establish a good cooperative relationship with hospitals above the second level, promote the sinking of high-quality medical resources through various channels such as counterpart support, department construction, talent sinking and multi-point practice, and provide accurate referral and high-quality medical services for contracted residents.

Public health doctors refer to doctors who are engaged in the prevention, monitoring and treatment of major diseases, especially infectious diseases, the supervision and control of food, medicines and public health, and related health promotion, health education and immunization. The clients of public health doctors are mainly groups. They use systematic preventive medicine, clinical medicine and other professional knowledge to sum up individual health problems, find some sexual characteristics, and carry out prevention and control work for group health problems. A family doctor refers to a person who has a doctor's license and is a "medical practitioner", who is actually engaged in medical treatment, prevention and health care, excluding a medical practitioner who is actually engaged in management. Family doctors can provide a series of health services for contracted patients, such as general diagnosis and treatment, accurate referral, health management, rehabilitation care, family beds and so on.
