Family medicine

Family doctor:

  • A medical partner for life for you and your family.
  • Always in the loop on your health events, with full and up-to-date information on your medical history, and up-to-date on your personal health events.
  • Helps solve most therapeutic problems without the need to involve other specialised professionals.
  • If there is a need to attract specialists with "narrow" specialisations, it organises medical-diagnostic communication with the necessary specialists.
  • Increases treatment efficiency and saves time. Your guide to "health on the go".
  • Helping you to be healthy and feel good, it helps you to achieve your personal goals.
The services of a family doctor are covered by the Territorial Health Insurance Fund. It is important to choose your family doctor responsibly, as he or she consistently monitors your health and knows exactly which tests you need to have at which time. If indicated, your GP will refer you to a second-level specialist (e.g. an orthopaedic surgeon) traumatologist, neurologist, cardiologist, etc.). Every patient is very important to us, and we constantly strive to take care of the health of every patient, to take into account all the needs for treatment and health improvement, and to provide the best and highest quality care. Zaliakalnis polyclinic UAB provides primary outpatient family medicine services. These services are provided by family doctors and general nurses.
