In the medical profession, a general practitioner (GP) is a medical doctor who treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides preventive care and health education to patients.

A general medical journal is an academic journal dedicated to medicine in general, rather than a specific field of medicine.

Medicine (British English; American English) is the science and practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.

The word "medicine" is derived from Latin medicus, meaning "a physician".

Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.

Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease, typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Health policy can be defined as the "decisions, plans, and actions that are undertaken to achieve specific healthcare goals within a society.

According to the World Health Organization, an explicit health policy can achieve several things: it defines a vision for the future; it outlines priorities and the expected roles of different groups; and it builds consensus and informs people.
