Due to the large number of diseases and the chronic diseases of aging population, this feature poses a challenge to the medical health services for the elderly in China. This paper first analyzes the elderly medical service system in China, the family doctor service and China's limitations. It proposes to provide space for family doctors to participate in the medical services for the elderly in the context of "combination of medical care and healthcare", but finds that the service still has many shortcomings. Therefore, the exploration path of family doctors' integration into the elderly medical services is proposed from the four levels of policy, finance, technology and culture.
