Family physician

The task of a family physician is to diagnose a disease at an early stage and send a patient to the specialist in case of necessity. A qualified family physician will be able to determine disease symptoms of the endocrine system, respiratory and digestive organs, urinary system, connective tissues, cardiovascular organs, as well as haematogenous system organs.
