When you are not feeling well, the common notion is to ‘see a doctor’. What you are actually referring to is to consult a family doctor which is more commonly known as ‘General Practitioners’ or GP in short. What this is referred to are basically doctors who are able to treat general illness like flu, sore throat, minor problems like joint pains and diarrhoea and other types of indigestion.

Family medicine is basically a branch of healthcare which deals with the total healthcare for you and your family members. They are sometimes called family physicians where they are trained specialists in diagnosing and treating of different types of conditions for children, adults and old people. Some of the GPs are more specialized than others while most of them are able to treat most kind of illnesses. In a situation where a second opinion is needed or when there is a need for specialist treatment, the GP will issue a letter which will recommend you into a hospital or a medical centre.
In Malaysia, the practice of GPs is slightly different from other countries. They are usually the specialists who will prescribe the right medicine for the illness you are having and then dispensing them through their practice. Most hospitals in Malaysia have their own team of GPs and family doctors while there are clinics that offer such services as well.
