This year's theme for National Doctor's Day is “Celebrating Resilience and Healing Hands". Through this year's theme, we wish to celebrate the medical professionals that worked hard through the difficult times faced due to the pandemic.


National Doctor's Day is celebrated as a tribute in honour of  Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy, a renowned physician and the second Chief Minister of West Bengal.
