Primary care refers to the initial point of contact for individuals seeking healthcare services. It is typically provided by healthcare professionals such as general practitioners. Primary care focuses on delivering comprehensive, continuous, and coordinated care to patients of all ages and genders. It includes preventive care, diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses and injuries, management of chronic conditions, health promotion, and patient education. Primary care providers serve as the central hub for patients' healthcare needs, addressing a wide range of health concerns and, when necessary, referring patients to specialists for further evaluation or treatment.
