Doctor’s day celebration -significance

Doctors are the most important people of our life. They are the survivors of life. There is a saying that doctors are very near or same as god in this world. Doctor’s day is a dedication in honor of those people who are engaging with the treatments and diagnosis to save a person’s life. It is easy to kill a person but it is more difficult to survive a human being so this day is one of most important celebrations in all around the world. In India Doctors Day celebrated each year on date of 1 July

There may be several reasons that can be attributed to the significance of a Doctor’s day being celebrated in India.

· The large population of India depends on the efficiency and responsibility of doctors to a large extent at all times

· Doctors in India over the years have shown remarkable improvements and made definite progress in medical treatments that need to be acknowledged

· It may also be seen as an encouragement and an eye opener to all such doctors who have been struck by a flailing career owing to a lack of commitment

· There have been instances of public violence and protests against doctors when they have failed to perform. Doctor’s Day could be seen as an approach by the same people as a mark of respect for all those doctors who have relentlessly made efforts to sustain the life of their patients against all odds
