| Abstract: | As everyone knows there are two tiers of provision of health care: state and private. Whilst government provides a good service at hospital and health centres, which is by right free for all, only private doctors provide Family Practices. WHO criteria for a family service advocate that, ideally, doctors should be life-time partners with the family, and that doctors should know their patients by name, and each patient able to mention by name his or her primary care physician1• For many private GPs this is still the case. |
