Academy of Family Physicians of India

The Academy of Family Physicians of India (AFPI) is a professional academic society and non-profit organization in India that was founded in 2010. It was established to promote the development of family medicine and primary healthcare in the country.

Family medicine is a medical specialty practiced by a significant number of doctors in India. While organizations such as the Indian Medical Association College of General Practitioners (IMA CGP) and Family Physicians Association of India (FPAI) have existed for several decades, AFPI was formed to focus specifically on the academic development of family medicine in India.

AFPI is a member of the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA). The academy operates through several state chapters and has members across India. Its membership includes family physicians, general practitioners, and medical officers who provide care across various demographics and medical conditions.[citation needed] Provided by Wikipedia
