Access to timely and comprehensive primary care is particularly crucial for this demographic.

Geriatric patients often face multiple and complex health issues, requiring a coordinated and holistic approach to their care. Primary care providers serve as the frontline defenders, managing chronic conditions, preventive care and addressing emerging health concerns. Timely visits allow for early detection of potential problems, preventing complications and hospitalizations.

Moreover, accessibility to primary care services is essential for geriatric patients who may have mobility challenges or difficulty accessing healthcare  facilities. Home visits, where available, represent a valuable extension of primary care, ensuring that patients who may struggle with transportation or face limitations in leaving their homes receive the attention they need.

By emphasizing the importance of primary care for geriatric patients, we not only enhance their overall health outcomes but also contribute to a healthcare system that prioritizes prevention, continuity of care, and the dignified aging of our elderly population.
