Time to thank doctors

WORLD Family Doctor Day is celebrated today, Tuesday, May 19 and it is a time to recognise and praise doctors for the work they do in everyone’s lives.
May 19 was first declared World Family Doctor Day by the World Organisation of Family Doctors (WONCA) in 2010 and it has become a day to highlight the role and contribution of family doctors in health care systems around the world.
The event has gained momentum globally each year and it is a wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the central role of our specialty in the delivery of personal, comprehensive and continuing health care for all of our patients.
It’s also a chance to celebrate the progress being made in family medicine and the special contributions of family doctors all around the world.
Korumburra Medical Centre has also invested greatly in this region; and just last November celebrated the completion of a $1.2 million upgrade to the practice which booted facilities for its patients.
Long Street Family Medicine opened in Leongatha in 2012, offering people a bulk billing clinic to patients in the area.
