It is a specialty inbreadththatintegratesthebiological,clinicalandbehaviouralsciences.Thescopeoffamilymedicineencompassesallages,sexes,eachorgansystemandeverydiseaseentity.

World Health Organization (WHO) defined Family medicine as that specialty of medicine which isconcernedwithprovidingcomprehensivecare to individualsandfamiliesand integratingbiomedical,behavioural and social sciences. As an academic discipline, it includes comprehensive health careservices,educationandresearch.

Thespecialtyoffamilymedicinewascreatedin1969tofulfillthegeneralistfunctioninmedicine,whichsufferedwiththegrowthofsubspecializationandfragmentationofpersonalisedhealthcareafterWorldWarII.
