Family medicine or primary care plays a large role in being the gatekeeper of health care delivery in many countries. Areas covered by the primary health care provider include disease prevention, health screening for early detection of disease, risk stratification of diseases, promoting curative care as well as rehabilitation services.

This requires a strong foundation, with good quality clinical skills and knowledge in managing a spectrum of cases. Having said that, due to time and resource constraints in some settings, the cases discussed in this book can still appear to be very challenging to a primary care doctor despite being very common. Thus, it is hoped that this book can act as a guide for primary care practicing doctors as well as students newly exposed to the primary care setting.
