MEDICAL SPECIALISMS – EXTERNAL CONSULTANTS

FAMILY MEDICINE
Family doctors are the first point of contact for patients and in most cases can solve the more usual health problems. As the members of our team who are closest to the patient, they are key to our care system. Our facilities provide them with good diagnostic tools which allow results to be obtained quickly and efficiently avoiding the serious inconvenience that can be caused by delays in obtaining these results.
Family doctors assess and co-ordinate the intervention of other specialists if necessary.
