Every year on 19 May we celebrate the World Family Doctor Day. It was first declared by the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) on 2010 to give recognition to the role and contribution of family doctors in healthcare systems around the world. The theme this year is "Family doctors - leading the way to better health".

Thank you for being our health partner providing comprehensive, continuing, whole-person, coordinated and preventive care to us and our families. Family doctors play a crucial role in the delivery of primary care and safeguarding the health of the population, particularly in the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases. |
