[Family medicine--now and in the future]

In this work we present our experience in providing family health care in certain areas of the city. This work was carried out by teams of medical doctors and nurses (polivalent). After 10 years of experience and the obvious positive effects, we can say that a general practitioner may enjoy the confidence of citizens in that he takes care of the whole population of certain microregion, or by the way, of protection families with the accent on promotion of health and prevention. The health of families is protected through emphasis on promotion a good health and prevention of disease.
