19 MAY – WORLD FAMILY DOCTOR DAY

Healthcare begins in his office. Regardless of age or symptoms, most patients come to him! A family doctor is a specialist who plays a key role in the entire healthcare system. It's worth taking a closer look at his work today and offering heartfelt wishes from the entire family.

Care for the entire family, from children to seniors, along with direct contact and a good relationship with patients, is the main strength of family medicine. Specialists in this field not only treat specific ailments, but also prevent illness by educating their patients and referring them for preventive screenings.

"Your Doctor is, first and foremost, a family doctor," says network head Mariola Madler-Litera, a family medicine specialist. "It's a challenging job that requires significant commitment, but at the same time, it guarantees the ability to help people in their immediate surroundings, in small local communities." Family doctors are a crucial group within the NZOZ Twój Lekarz team. Of the 50 physicians providing primary health care, half are family medicine specialists. We wish them success, job satisfaction, and many satisfied patients!

Dariusz Litera's conversation with Dr. Marcin Roszkowski, a family medicine specialist, offers practical tips on preparing a travel first aid kit, taking your child to summer camp, motion sickness, and traveler's diarrhea. The expert emphasizes both the safety of pharmacotherapy and the sensible use of medical care while on vacation.

Coordinated primary care for children. What does this mean in practice?

Children's Day is the perfect time to reflect not only on the joy of the little ones, but also on their health and sense of security. Many parents experience situations where a child needs regular checkups, further tests, or specialist consultations, and the entire treatment organization falls on the family. It's important to remember the results, visits, recommendations, and next steps.
