FAMILY MEDICINE SERVICE

The specialty of Family and Community Medicine makes a comprehensive assessment of the patient in the family and social framework, giving priority to health promotion and healthy living habits. We also monitor chronic diseases and palliative care.

Within our chapter dedicated to the promotion of health, our main effort is dedicated to the orientation of the population towards healthier lifestyles. Health problems associated with lifestyles and multicausality, are responsible for morbi-mortality and deficits in quality of life.

We are responsible for providing comprehensive and continuous care to all individuals who request medical assistance, and may involve other health professionals, who will provide their services when necessary.

Our family doctors are able to coordinate with other specialists who work both at hospital and extrahospital levels, ensuring the proper functioning of the system.
