Preventive medicine is an important part of family medicine, with an emphasis on proactive care to prevent disease and promote long-term health. Family physicians play an important role in providing routine check-ups, vaccinations, and health education as each family member needs. Through lifestyle counseling, including healthy eating, exercise, and mental health support, family medicine helps reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and improves patients’ overall quality of life in each section.
The Preventive Medicine World Conference (PRMWC) offers a forum to discuss the integration of preventive medicine into family medicine. The session explores strategies for disease prevention, early detection, and personalized care, focusing on how family physicians can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs through a preventive approach.
