Since our country is know for its diversities and culture and there is many important events that occured in the annals of the history of our country :
1. National Doctor’s Day - July 1:
In India, Doctor's Day is observed on the 1st of July to mark the importance of doctors hold in our lives. This day is also meant to commemorate the medical industry and its advancements.
National Doctor's Day is celebrated in India every year on July 1 to commemorate the medical genius, politician and a passionate freedom fighter Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. Born on July 1, 1882 in Bankipore, Patna. Dr. Roya was a birthday-perisher who breathed his last on the same date in the year 1962 at the age of 80, a strange coincidence.
In India, National Doctors' Day was first observed on the 01st of July 1991 in honour of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, to pay tribute to his contributions to the health sector.
The contribution of doctors goes beyond the treatment of health issues, surgeries and saving lives. They support one through what seems like the darkest phase of their life and encourage them to be hopeful and positive. National Doctor's Day is the perfect opportunity to honour the medical practitioners and appreciate their presence in our life.
Doctors are the soldiers of the country, those who don't fight at borders but dedicatedly work to save lives and improve life expectancy while putting their lives at risk. Their contribution towards human health is beyond expectations. They are always the first to respond to a pandemic situation such as COVID-19, Disease X, Plague, Flu, AIDS, Ebola, and others to protect the general populace.
Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy was a well-known doctor, educator, freedom fighter, social worker, and politician. He was also the chief minister of West Bengal for 14 years, from 1948 to 1962. On the 04th of February 1961, he received the highest Indian civilian award, "THE BHARAT RATNA". He gave his life to the people, treated many individuals, and inspired millions. He was also the personal physician of Mahatma Gandhi. He is also called the ‘Messiah of Bengal’ especially in reference to the remarkable work done by him.
