Family Medicine

Medicine has been subdivided into multiple disciplines over the years as it developed into modern medicine. Such segmentation has contributed to the scientific and technological development of medicine, but it also resulted in the problem that patients are unable to receive a comprehensive diagnosis of his or her health problems from a single physician. This resulted in the need for a medical field where health problems can be dealt with from various aspects, and that gave rise to family medicine. Family medicine specialists provide continuous and comprehensive medical care to patients, regardless of the disease or the patient’s age.
