The goals of the family medicine program

In general, the family medicine program has a higher goal in the world than the treatment of diseases, which includes:

• Promotion of healthy lifestyle, self-care and health culture
• Sociology and promoting the health of the individual, family and society
• Prevention of common and important diseases based on individual needs
• Early detection of diseases (preferably before symptoms) and their early treatment
• Treating diseases and facilitating access to high quality diagnostic, therapeutic and health-oriented services "needed" by people in an affordable way for all people
• Providing services based on the assessment of the individual, family and society health, using the advice of other medical fields and health services, and not just a limited number of service packages.

The family medicine team follows the following measures in the self-care program to create healthy and health-promoting behaviors:

• Creating the right motivation in the individual
• Increasing health literacy
• Strengthening a person's sense of worth and perception of herself/ himself
• Strengthening individual self-efficacy
• Increasing the skill of using one's health resources
• Creating a suitable interaction between recipients and providers of health services
• Creating the necessary life skills according to the topic (such as decision-making, problem solving, taking action, etc.)

Family in the self-care program is significant, since the family, as the smallest and most important institution in the society, plays an important role in the health of the individual and the society. The family medical team not only pays attention to the needs of the service recipients as "individuals", but also to the components of health in the "family". In other words, they look at the health of the individual, their family and their living environment with an expert view.
