Strengthening Healthcare, Honouring Healers
-
National Doctors' Day, celebrated annually on July 1st, is a day dedicated to recognising the unwavering commitment of physicians to the well-being of society. This day also commemorates the birth and death anniversary of Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, a renowned physician and former Chief Minister of West Bengal, who was posthumously awarded the Bharat Ratna for his monumental contributions to medicine and public service.
The theme for this year, "Behind the Mask: Who Heals the Healers?" challenges us to see behind the commitment and tenacity of doctors to acknowledge their need for care and assistance. Every day, doctors selflessly put their patients first, often at the price of their own well-being.
In Karnataka, National Doctors' Day takes on a deeper significance, as the state grapples with evolving healthcare challenges while striving to strengthen its medical infrastructure.
Health Scenario in Karnataka
