The Role of the General Practitioner-Family Doctor in the Pharmacotherapy of Tuberculosis During the War

The role of the general practitioner-family physician in the pharmacotherapy of tuberculosis during the war is extremely important. The military conflict can cause an increase in cases of tuberculosis due to the deterioration of hygienic conditions, internal displacement of the population, evacuation of patients, insufficient medical and pharmaceutical assistance. In a wartime setting, family physicians may be the primary providers of early diagnosis and pharmacotherapy for many tuberculosis patients. Crowding of people in damp shelters, insufficient nutrition, stress. The role of family physicians is to properly treat and monitor patients, prevent the spread of tuberculosis, and collaborate with other specialists for optimal management of this disease.
