National Doctors Day
Being a Doctor isn’t a profession – it is a way of life. A life where satisfaction means 24*7 work hours and postponed vacations. A world where happiness is derived from the endless sufferings they help cure. As a huge thank you for all their efforts, India celebrates Doctor’s day on 1st of July.
In India, the National Doctors' Day is celebrated on July 1 all across India to honour the legendary physician and the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. He was born on July 1, 1882 and died on the same date in 1962, aged 80 years.
Each year National Doctor’s day is organised with a theme, last year’s being, “Zero tolerance to violence against doctors and clinical establishment”. This year’s theme is yet to be announced but we can assume it will be regarding the pandemic that we are undergoing.
Doctor’s Day was established by the Government of India in 1991 to be recognised and celebrated every year on July 1 every year in India. Doctor’s Day is observed on different dates across the world. In the United States, the day is observed on March 30, in Cuba on December 3 and in Iran on August 23.
They have been no less than angels who are struggling constantly in order to save lives, even if that means putting their own lives at risk. National Doctors’ Day is the best occasion to thank all the doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals in your life for all that they do for us.
