At Meliva, primary healthcare is provided by family doctors and general practitioners. A family doctor is a specialist who has completed relevant specialization training, while a general practitioner is a registered medical doctor who has completed medical education. Patients of all ages with any health concerns can visit family doctors or general practitioners. If necessary, doctors refer patients for blood tests, diagnostic examinations, or to appropriate specialists for specific health issues.
Common reasons to visit a family or general doctor include:
- Infections (e.g., eye infections, urinary tract infections; initial consultation for acute respiratory infections through DigiClinic)
- Treatment and monitoring of chronic diseases (e.g., hypertension, diabetes)
- Preventive health check-ups (consultations for planning tests and interpreting results)
- Obtaining health certificates (e.g., driver’s health certificate)
