Where this comes from

Abstract

As India progresses towards its centenary of independence in 2047, the need for a comprehensive and compassionate healthcare system that emphasizes the role of family physicians has never been more urgent. Family physicians serve as the bedrock of primary health care, providing a holistic approach that encompasses preventive, curative, and rehabilitative care for individuals across all stages of life. This vision for 2047 articulates a future where every Indian family has access to a dedicated family physician who addresses their healthcare needs and promotes health education, and community well-being.
