@DrPratyush @WoncaWorld @WoRSAcares @RuralSeeds Congratulations @DrPratyush - health for all rural people needs a focus on low and middle income countries where access to care is so difficult especially for rural communities. It’s great to have your skills and focus at our helm.

At the @aafp we’re honored to stand with, support, and celebrate the difference family physicians make every day — whether it’s in a rural practice or a global health initiative.

While we celebrate family physicians each day, May 19 is a day designated to recognize the essential role family physician’s play in people’s lives — not just for a moment, but for a lifetime. From delivering babies to managing chronic conditions, from listening with empathy to leading public health efforts, you do it all. And you do it with compassion, skill and commitment.

Since World Family Doctor Day was first established by @WoncaWorld in 2010, it has become a powerful reminder of how family physicians shape the lives of their patients, their communities and the entire health care system.

This year’s theme is focused on mental health. Family physicians promote mental wellness every day and serve as a first point of connection for patients seeking mental health care while providing a safe space.

To every family physician: You are seen and you are appreciated. And, most importantly, you are truly making the world a healthier place.

Happy #WorldFamilyDoctorDay

Doctors as ‘Change Specialists’. A fascinating observation, and just one of the many insights in the interview with Bruce Arroll.
