General Practitioners

A general practitioner (GP) is a medical professional specializing in treating both acute and chronic illnesses, as well as offering preventive care and health education across all age groups and genders.

They possess specialized skills in managing individuals with multiple health conditions and co-morbidities. A proficient GP approaches patient care by considering both the individual and the broader population.

The term "general practitioner" or GP is commonly used in the Republic of Ireland, the United Kingdom, and various Commonwealth countries. In these regions, the term "physician" is typically reserved for specific medical specialists, particularly those in internal medicine.

In Malaysia, individuals can qualify as GPs after completing four years of compulsory service with the government. GPs were among the pioneers in providing private healthcare services in the country.
