A family physician is uniquely positioned to connect prevention and treatment even within tertiary healthcare facilities where the focus is often on specialized, curative care. Their role is to ensure patients are not just treated for illness but also protected from future disease. In tertiary hospitals, care can become fragmented across specialists. A family physician provides continuity, coordination, and a holistic view, ensuring that prevention is integrated into every stage of care. Preventive services (treatment) involve measures taken to avoid the occurrence of disease or detect it early before symptoms become severe and curative services (treatment) refer to interventions aimed at treating and eliminating an existing disease or reducing its severity.
