Contribution of Doctors Towards Mankind

Contribution of Doctors
towards mankind
National Doctors‟ Day is a day celebrated to

recognize the contributions of doctors to individual lives
and communities. The date varies from nation to nation
depending on the event of commemoration used to mark
the day. “Observation, Reason, Human Understanding,
Courage; these make the physician”. Doctors have always
played a very important role in the development of our
society. This day is dedicated to all the doctors and
healthcare workers who have been serving the people
and the society from a long time. Amid the Covid-19
pandemic, it has once again reminded people about the
contributions of healthcare workers across the world.
The day is also observed to thank doctors for their
relentless service to human kind.
In India, the National Doctors‟ Day is celebrated

on 1st July every year to mark the birth anniversary and
honor the contributions of the former West Bengal
Chief Minister, Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy. He was a
renowned physician, philanthropist, and educationist.
The first National Doctors‟ Day was celebrated in the
year 1991. He played an instrumental role in the
establishment of various institutions in India like the
Chittaranjan Cancer Hospital, Chittaranjan Seva
Sadan, among others. He was awarded with the
highest civilian award of India i.e. the Bharat Ratna
Award in 1961.
For 2021, the day is observed to recognize the

efforts of all the doctors and those healthcare
workers who are putting their lives at risk in these
hard times, be it in primary or secondary care
settings or in COVID care facilities. India‟s strides in
the world of medicine are commendable and have
contributed to making our lives better and healthier.
Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, the Indian Medical

Association (IMA) gave a report stating that 748
doctors succumbed due to Covid-19 in the first wave
and 798 doctors have lost their lives in the second
wave of coronavirus. But still, they are ready to treat
the people to save them from this deadly virus by
risking their lives.
Not only in the COVID times have they

stepped forward to save the mankind but the doctors
and all the healthcare workers have always worked
hard as frontline workers to secure the health of the
society. I remember an incident. When I was in Class
8th, I went for cycling late night with two of my
friends. Midway, suddenly I lost my balance and fell
off the bicycle causing serious injury to my chin and
legs. I was in severe pain and luckily, my parents
arrived early and took me to the hospital. It was
almost midnight when we went to the hospital. It was
a time when almost all of them are off-duty. But
when I reached the hospital, I got immediate and
very good response. There were 2 doctors who were
about to leave but seeing me, they stopped and came
back for my treatment right away. I was in severe
pain that time. Finally, the treatment was successful
and I recovered faster i.e. earlier than the
stipulated time. That time, my respect on the
doctors and the healthcare workers only increased.
They proved that they are the bravest

warriors and the true heroes in these crucial COVID
times. Without even thinking about the risk/threat
possessed to their lives, they have been working day
and night trying to cure people from this deadly
disease which has already took lives of many. And
after working hard for these one and a half long
excruciating years, they have finally developed a
vaccine for this virus which is really working well on
many people as people who have contracted the
COVID-19 virus have recovered safely after taking
the vaccine.
These COVID times are a test for them to

prove their true capabilities and they have once again
proved that they are always ready to accept any
challenge and overcome it with proper planning and
determination. This phase helped „us‟ i.e. the common
people of the society to realize the actual
importance of doctors to the mankind. Without them,
it would have been impossible for us to overcome and
win this war over the COVID-19 virus.
Therefore, I would like to conclude by

saying that God cannot be everywhere. So, he sent the
Doctors with excellence and selflessness to our rescue.
On this eve of National Doctors‟ Day, wishing every
healthcare worker a very Happy Doctor‟s Day.
Wishing them good health and prosperity all
throughout their life.
