Medical Services
General Practice
General Practice typically refers to a medical specialty that provides comprehensive primary healthcare services to individuals of all ages. General practitioners (GPs) diagnose and treat a wide range of acute and chronic illnesses, offer preventive care and health education, and coordinate care with specialists when needed, serving as the first point of contact for patients within the healthcare system.
Medical Specialists
Medical specialists are doctors who have completed additional training and education in a specific area of medicine beyond their basic medical degree. These specialists focus on diagnosing, treating, and managing particular diseases, conditions, or body systems. Examples include cardiologists (heart specialists), dermatologists (skin specialists), neurologists (brain and nervous system specialists), and many others, each providing expert care within their respective fields.
Pathology
Pathology is the medical specialty concerned with the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of tissues, organs, bodily fluids, and whole bodies (autopsies). Pathologists analyze samples collected from patients, such as biopsies or blood samples, using various techniques including microscopy, molecular testing, and other laboratory methods, to identify the nature and extent of diseases or abnormalities. They play a crucial role in aiding clinicians in diagnosing and treating patients, as well as in research to understand the underlying mechanisms of diseases.
Allied Health
Allied Health refers to a broad category of healthcare professions that encompass a range of disciplines outside of medicine, nursing, and pharmacy. Allied health professionals work collaboratively with physicians and other healthcare providers to deliver diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive healthcare services.
