This Day acknowledges the doctor’s contributions...
On 01 July 2023, National Doctor's Day is celebrated every year in India to recognize the contributions and hard work of doctors and medical professionals towards society.
It also aims to create awareness about the importance of medical professionals, their selfless service, Efforts, and the valuable role they play in improving the health and well-being of people and communities.
The theme for National Doctor's Day this year is “Celebrating Resilience and Healing Hands".
We use this day to recognise the efforts of medical professionals and all their contributions.
The history behind National Doctor's Day dates back to the birth anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, a renowned physician and the second CM of West Bengal. Dr. Roy was born on July 1, 1882, and he dedicated his life to the medical profession, making significant contributions to the medical field and public healthcare.
This day also commemorates the birth anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, a prominent figure in the medical field, and serves as a platform for discussions and activities that aim to enhance healthcare services and promote a healthier nation.
It was in his honour and as a tribute to his invaluable contributions that the Government of India designated July 1st as National Doctor's Day in 1991.
This decision was taken to recognise the importance of doctors and their role in society, as well as to commemorate Dr. Roy's legacy, professionalism, and humanitarian values.
