General and Family Medicine

General and Family Medicine (GFM) is the medical specialty responsible for the comprehensive, continuous, and personalised care of patients of all ages. It is the main point of contact within the healthcare system, playing a key role in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of diseases, as well as in promoting healthy lifestyles.

This holistic view allows for a complete assessment and appropriate guidance at every stage of life.
