It is very common for a medical doctor in primary care to manage medical illness that covers a wide spectrum of clinical conditions from the most common and simple diseases to the rare ones. Features that make primary care practice to be different from a tertiary centre or any specialist-based medical practice include its role as the first point of contact care, the strategy used in arriving at the right diagnosis, personalised care, holistic approach, health promotion and providing domiciliary care as well as family care.
