National Doctors' Day is observed to recognize and appreciate the contributions of physicians to society. It acknowledges the vital role doctors play in the healthcare system, providing care, conducting research, and advancing medical knowledge.
The theme chosen for the celebration of National Doctor's Day in 2024 is “Healing Hands, Caring Hearts,” which emphasises the dedication, compassion, and empathy that doctors bring to their medical practice, as well as the pivotal role they play in saving and improving lives.
National Doctor's Day was first celebrated in India in 1991, following a recommendation by the Indian Medical Association (IMA). The day was established as a way to commemorate the contributions of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, who was both a physician and a statesman.
