General Practice / Family Medicine is one of the key specialties for holistic patient care, combining physical and psychological factors in a close doctor-patient relationship.
Therefore, family physicians - General Practice / Family Medicine specialists - are doctors who perform their tasks by placing each person within their family, psychological, social and cultural context, accompanying each individual throughout their life, at every stage.
These specialists operate by promoting good health and effective disease prevention, focusing on diagnosis by prescribing various medical exams, treatment and rehabilitation, and if necessary, accompanying palliative care. The family doctor is indeed a ‘health manager’, occupying a unique position to communicate and mobilise the necessary resources, making the correct and appropriate referrals, working directly with all specialties and a wide range of healthcare professionals.
In all Joaquim Chaves Saúde medical clinics, you will find a team of specialised professionals at your service to accompany you and your family. Your health, at any age, is our priority.
