Abstract：
Dr. Prakash Chand (PC) Bhatla MBBS was one of the illustrious past presidents (1975-76) of Indian Medical Association (IMA). He was a General Practitioner by vocation and a towering professional leader. He made an immense contribution to the discipline of Family Medicine - the academic discipline, medical specialty, and the knowledge domain of Family Physicians/Family Doctors within India as well as the global level. He was a brilliant human being and professional par excellence. He was probably one of the greatest leaders of the medical profession in India and a rightful successor to Dr BC Roy\'s legacy. As a rare achievement, he received the Dr BC Roy National Award from the President of India twice. He received this prestigious recognition award in 1977 for socio-medical relief in India and again in 1982 for the promotion of Specialty of General Practice. He founded IMA CGP (Indian Medical College of General Practitioners), and his foundational work led to the recognition of Family Medicine as a specialty in India. Due to his efforts, Family Medicine was included in the list of recognized specialties by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) as well by the Medical Council of India (MCI). His contribution to medicine at a global level is also remarkable. He is also considered one of the founding forefathers of WONCA - World Organization of Family Doctors. He was associated with the foundation process of WONCA from the beginning (1964). The International Liaison Committee organized the first World meeting of General Practice in Montreal (Canada) in 1964 and the second meeting in Salsburg in 1966. Dr Bhatla was the convenor of the Third World Conference on General Practice in New Delhi, India, in 1968. A global representative body of Family Medicine/General Practice was launched in 1972 in Melbourne, Australia. Due to contribution to WONCA, he was elected for the first ever WONCA fellowship, the most prestigious global Family Medicine award. He was contemporary to other world leaders of Family Medicine and Primary Care such as Ian McWhinney and Barbara Starfeild. He is rightfully recognized and remembered as Father of Family Medicine. Dr Bhatla\'s intellectual, professional, and administrative contribution laid down the sound background for the foundation of a Specialty body of Family Medicine in India called the Academy of Family Physicians of India. Life and work of Dr PC Bhatla continues to inspire family doctors, family physicians, general practitioners, and Family Medicine specialists across India, South Asia, and the World in the 21st century.
