    Our Services

    Portumna Primary Care provides a full range of services to Private and Public Patients.

    Primary Care

    Primary healthcare is the first point of contact many individuals, families and communities have with the healthcare system, and is usually provided by your GP.

    Primary care brings together personal healthcare, health promotion, the prevention of illness and community development.

    Mental Health

    The main psychological impact of the pandemic has seen elevated rates of stress or anxiety.

    As new measures and impacts are introduced – especially quarantine and its effects on many people’s usual activities, routines or livelihoods – levels of loneliness, depression, harmful alcohol and drug use, and self-harm or suicidal behaviour are also expected to rise.

    We have put together a directory of mental health supports here:
