Abu Dhabi: With its population going beyond 350 million, the Arab world seeks over 160,000 specialist family physicians as the available numbers are far less than actually needed.
Experts warn that efforts must be made to establish training programmes and produce skilled family physicians who can provide definitive care and preventative services to each member of the patient family regardless of sex, age, or type of problem, be it biological, behavioural or social.
