A general consultation is a medical service where a healthcare professional, such as a doctor or pharmacist, assesses a patient’s health concerns, symptoms, or medication needs. It can be conducted in-person at clinics, hospitals, or pharmacies, or through teleconsultation platforms. General consultations help diagnose illnesses, provide treatment recommendations, issue prescriptions, and offer preventive healthcare advice. They are essential for routine check-ups, managing chronic conditions, and addressing minor health issues before they become serious.
