Abstract

Treatment and management of patients with MUS should make provision for a personalized approach to the patient within the Polish primary health care system. This can be enhanced by providing additional training in the biopsychosocial model during medical education and establishing a GP multidisciplinary team. Allocating increased financial resources for primary health care and facilitating access to psychologists and psychotherapists could also prove beneficial.
