 What is It

Health professionals are qualified

systematic and professional way to any
individual in need of health care services. Health
care providers may refer to the health
professionals or organizations that provide
professional health services. Professionals are
regulated by their body and/or the state.

Medical Professionals/Practitioners are health

professionals – doctors, nurses, dentists, etc. –
who provide the preventive, curative,
promotional, or rehabilitative services to people, families, or communities. Some of
them hold private clinics in your community. Others are found in the health centers
or in hospitals. They provide informal counseling, health screenings and referrals
and promote access to services, health education and advocacy.
It is important to have regular check-up with the health professionals/
