In 2021, the number of general practitioners in Germany remained nearly unchanged at around 60,602.5 practitioners. Still, the number of practitioners reached its highest value in the observed period in 2021. A general practitioner, also known as a family doctor, assures the provision of continuous care. They treat common medical conditions and perform routine exams for individuals, families, and communities. In addition to treating minor or chronic illnesses, they play a key role in referring patients to specialists or hospitals for urgent or specialized treatment.
