Více o knize

The fourth edition emphasizes the evolution of primary health care (PHC) over the past decade, highlighting the shift from general practice to a more structured approach with compulsory vocational training and team-based care. It addresses the growing focus on prevention and quality initiatives while stressing the importance of maintaining the personal doctor-patient relationship. The book argues that effective general practice relies on a deep understanding of community disease patterns, requiring both traditional medical skills and knowledge of disease prevalence and outcomes.
