Programme Details:Historically, healthcare systems have been disease-oriented, prioritising the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions. In recent decades, there has been a shift towards more patient-centred approaches. This shift recognises that the human experience of illness extends beyond clinical symptoms, influencing treatment adherence, the doctor-patient relationship, and ultimately, clinical outcomes.
