Happy Doctors Day 2021: Modi, Venkaiah Naidu, Shah and others applaud medical fraternity
New Delhi, July 01: July 1 is celebrated as National Doctors' Day every year. The day celebrates the doctors and healthcare workers who have been serving the people by risking their lives.
The day is also observed to honour the legendary physician and the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy who was born on July 1, 1882, and died on the same date in 1962 at the ripe age of 80 years.

National Doctor's Day was first observed by the Indian Medical Association (IMA) in India on July 1, 1991, to mark the birth and the death anniversary of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy.
On this Doctors' Day, I salute all members of the medical fraternity for rendering selfless service and working round-the-clock to save others' lives by risking their own. #DoctorsDay
