General practitioners (GPs) are medical doctors who provide primary care to patients of all ages. They diagnose and treat a wide range of health issues, from minor illnesses to chronic conditions. GPs often serve as the first point of contact in the healthcare system, guiding patients through their medical needs and referring them to specialists when necessary. In addition to treating illnesses, GPs focus on preventive care, helping patients maintain their overall health through regular check-ups, vaccinations, and health education. They build long-term relationships with patients, which allows for personalized care and better understanding of individual health histories and needs.
