Public Health and General and Family Medicine are complementary professional areas whose history has been made on a path where similarities seem to be bigger than differences and contact points are permanent. This article outlines a quick picture of the Portuguese history of the two specialties in the past 25 years, from the creation of health centres to the present reform of primary health care. It focuses on training and practice-related aspects of both specialties, examines some concepts that are frequently used (public health, global health, community), analyses the constraints which have prevented public health from fully consolidating itself and suggests a few guidelines to overcome them.Downloads
