| Abstract: | The purpose of medicine is to serve the community by continually improving health, health care and the quality of life for the individual. Population health is improved by health promotion, prevention of illness, treatment and care and the effective use of resources, all within the context of a team approach. Thus doctors have three broad roles: to provide high quality care, to be concerned with regard to community needs and manage resources effectively. |
