The missing family doctor
The New Indian Express
|June 29, 2024
GAMILY doctor has been an age-old concept of Indian family health care.
If you ask people who are in the age group of 60 and above, they would remember having a family doctor, which was popular during their childhood. Each family had one family doctor. For any small or big problem, first the family approached him/her and based on his/her guidance they went in for further treatment or referral. The words of the family doctor was final.
Till a few decades back, every family had a family doctor or a family physician. The concept was quite common both in cities and smaller towns across India. However, with the economic liberalisation in the 90s and the job boom that followed, people started migrating within India in search of green pastures. This was followed by the Internet boom, which made it easy to locate physicians 'closer home' at the click of a button. The mobile revolution further accelerated this trend.
