Primary Care
At cfb, we have nine (9) resident primary care GPs who are qualified to help
patients with health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, patient
education, and diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses. Our doctors
are conveniently located on our hospital premises, thereby providing easy access
to specialists and referral relationships for specific care needs.
If you have a health problem, a primary care doctor is usually your first medical
contact. You don't have to visit a specialist to get special medical care. Your
primary care doctor can treat most injuries and illnesses. Through regular checkups
and screenings, he or she may also detect symptoms of more serious illnesses,
such as cancer and heart disease, at an early stage. Primary care doctors can
provide long-term treatment and care, or refer you to a specialist if needed.
Primary care doctors are also a great source of information for health education
and disease prevention.
At cfb we have both male and female doctors.
Choosing a Doctor
Finally, keep in mind that open communication is essential to any good doctor/patient
relationship. Choose a primary care doctor
you feel comfortable with.
