Family Practice Clinic
Koforidua Clinic has Family Practice to cater for patients and their families who require continuity of care and round-the-clock access to Family Doctors (also referred to as your Family Physician).
In addition to managing new-onset and chronic ailments, your Family Doctor offers routine health screenings and counseling on adopting a healthier lifestyle to reduce the occurrence of preventable illnesses like hypertension and diabetes in the long run.
When you need care from other Specialists, your Family Doctor will be there to guide and coordinate all aspects of your care. In a nutshell, your Family Doctor provides you a closer relationship than you may have with a regular GP. The Family Doctor works together with patients to achieve the best possible outcome using the most cost-effective means.
Often times, patients visiting the hospital will be assigned to a General Practitioner (GP) who’ll take care of the patient from diagnosis to treatment. In some cases, depending on the time of day, the patient may be seen by one GP initially and finish off by seeing a different GP who may have taken over the next shift.
Other patients who may come in as a Family to see a GP on their initial visit, may see several other GPs on their subsequent visits. This sometimes creates an inconvenience for patients and their families who prefer seeing a particular doctor each time they visit. This is where your Family Doctor comes in.
Who needs a Family Doctor?
Both existing and new patients are welcome to access the Koforidua Clinic’s Family Practice. For individuals and corporate executives whose families access the Centre and would prefer a consolidated approach to their healthcare needs, the Family Practice presents a perfect solution. The foundation of Family Practice is an ongoing, personalized patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care.
Family Doctors are dedicated to treating the person as a whole. They treat all organs, every disease, at all ages and both genders.
What are the benefits of having a Family Doctor?
Family Doctors know the key to maintaining long-term good health. This professional relationship spans many years. You will have access to your Family Doctor by mobile phone and email to improve your reach within and outside working hours.
Family Doctors help you stay healthy with an individualized plan of care. To develop your personal treatment plan, your Family Doctor will ask questions about your family health history and lifestyle to determine your health risk factors.
Research shows that people who have an ongoing relationship with a primary care physician (Family Doctors) have better overall health outcomes, lower death rates and lower total costs of care.
