National Doctors Day (India)


Every year on July 1st, India celebrates National Doctors Day, a day dedicated to recognising the invaluable contributions of doctors to the society. This day serves as a reminder of the selfless service and dedication of medical professionals who work tirelessly to ensure the health and well-being of the nation.

The Date and Its History

National Doctors Day is celebrated on July 1st (since 1991) in India to honour the birth and death anniversary of the renowned physician Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. Dr. Roy, who was also the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, is remembered for his contributions to the medical field and his commitment to the welfare of the people.

Significance

National Doctors Day acknowledges the critical role doctors play in society. From providing routine medical care to responding to emergencies, doctors are the backbone of the healthcare system.

National Doctors Day is also an opportunity for the public to express gratitude to the medical community. It is a day to recognise the sacrifices doctors make, often at the expense of their own well-being, to ensure the health and safety of others. This day encourages society to appreciate and support the medical profession and to advocate for better working conditions and resources for healthcare workers.
