Chronic disease management refers to the coordinated efforts and strategies employed by healthcare providers and patients to effectively manage long-term medical conditions, also known as chronic diseases or non-communicable diseases (NCDs). These conditions typically persist over an extended period and require ongoing medical care, lifestyle modifications, and self-management to optimize health outcomes and quality of life. Mental health refers to the state of psychological and emotional well-being, encompassing factors such as thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It influences how individuals cope with stress, interact with others, and make decisions. Good mental health contributes to a sense of fulfillment, resilience, and ability to navigate life’s challenges effectively. General practice is a branch of medicine that provides comprehensive primary healthcare services to individuals of all ages and genders. General practitioners (GPs), also known as family doctors or primary care physicians, are trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of acute and chronic health conditions, offer preventive care and health promotion, manage ongoing medical issues, and coordinate referrals to specialists when needed. They serve as the first point of contact for patients seeking medical care and provide continuity of care by building long-term relationships with their patients. General practice encompasses a broad spectrum of medical services, including routine check-ups, immunizations, management of chronic diseases, minor surgical procedures, and counseling on lifestyle modifications for overall health and well-being.
