Abstract

This review discusses the importance of GPs in primary health care, focusing on patient care, disease prevention, chronic care management, and overall health care. Most of the time, the GP is the entry point to any healthcare delivery system and provides both promotive and therapeutic healthcare services. This review focuses on the research on the role of GPs in current and future healthcare systems, the pressures they meet, and the expansion of their responsibilities in the new age of digital health platforms and person-centered models of care. The paper also discusses how GP practices and GPs help in health equity, access to care, and system efficiency.
