In 2021, world family doctor day is celebrated with the theme of “Family Doctors — Leading the way to better health”.
This year their agenda is to highlight the role and contribution of family doctors in the health care system for a better future.
The specialty of family medicine is meant to properly tackle the common problems of all the members of a family. The training of family medicine specialists to tackle most common health issues independently and for the remaining uncommon issues.
The aim of this day offers a close bond between a doctor and families dependent upon him for their health services. So they keep the medical record of a family and always stay in a better position to treat any member of that family.
The core concept is to develop an expertise in caregiving at the primary level, so the first door a patient knocks would be a family physician whenever they need medical attention.
Worldwide family medicine has evolved as a counterculture to the rapid fragmentation of health care into ever-growing lists of specialties and subspecialties. Internationally, there is a growing demand for comprehensive health care.
