General medical refers to the branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of a wide range of health conditions. It encompasses various specialties, including internal medicine, family medicine, and pediatrics, which address the health needs of different age groups and populations. General medical practitioners, often known as general practitioners (GPs), provide comprehensive care and are typically the first point of contact for patients. In general medical practice, healthcare providers perform routine check-ups, manage chronic diseases, and offer preventive care. They also refer patients to specialists when necessary. This holistic approach ensures that patients receive well-rounded care tailored to their individual health needs.
