February Bulletin 2014

Recently I had an opportunity to attend annual conference of family physicians at Ahmedabad. That inspired me to reallocate my stray thoughts and put me to you all, in the form of an article about family practice and family physicians. The family practice is one of the oldest profession in the world with a glorious past. General practitioners (as British doctors like to call them) or family physicians have many achievements to display. In olden days generalized medical practice was in vogue. Multi-disciplinary system and specialty and super- specialty developed later in last centuries.
