General Physician
In the medical profession, a general practitioner is a physician who treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides preventive care and health education to patients of all ages
The role of a GP can vary greatly between (or even within) countries. In urban areas of developed countries, their roles tend to be narrower and focused on the care of chronic health problems; the treatment of acute non-life-threatening diseases; the early detection and referral to specialised care of patients with serious diseases; and preventive care including health education and immunisation.
