Doctors are considered hero in many people’s life who save them from many life threatening diseases, accidents. One must be thankful to all members of the medical fraternity from doctors to nurses and pharmaceuticals who are working hard in order to save millions of life each day.
The presence of the doctor is the beginning of the cure. A special day is hence observed every year on July 1 as National Doctor’s Day. The objective is to acknowledge the contributions of doctors’ human service to mankind.
The First Doctor’s Day was celebrated in India in the year 1991. July 1 happens to be the birth and death anniversary of the most famous physician of India – Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. It is hence a tribute to his contributions to the health domain in the country.
National Doctors day is being celebrated for years by the government and non-government healthcare organizations in order to get familiar with the doctors contributions. The day is commemorated by the staff of the healthcare organizations by organising variety of events and activities. Rotational medical services by the doctors are also promoted and encouraged in the community for better and healthy social development.
Free medical checkup camps are organized at many health centers and public places by the health care organizations to promote quality medical services without cost among common public. General screening test camps are conducted to assess the health status, health counseling, health nutrition talks and chronic diseases awareness among poor people and senior citizens. Free blood test, random blood sugar test, ECG, EEG, blood pressure checkup and etc activities are organised to make people aware about the priceless roles of doctors in everyone lives.
TLN takes this day as an opportunity to thank all the members of medical fraternity for responding to late night phone calls, working long hours and providing unswerving care.
