National Doctor's Day 2025: Honouring Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy -The Inspiration Behind the Day

National Doctor's Day India is observed every year on July 1 to honour the incredible work and dedication of medical professionals across the country. It’s a day that shines a light on the people behind stethoscopes—the doctors who commit their lives to healing others, even when it means long hours, sleepless nights, and personal sacrifices.

In 2025, this observance feels even more meaningful. With the theme “Behind the Mask: Who Heals the Healers?”, Doctors' Day 2025 offers not just appreciation for doctors, but also a reminder that they, too, need care, support, and recognition.

Let’s take a moment to reflect, give thanks, and truly understand why celebrating doctors is more than a ritual—it's a responsibility.

Honouring Dr. Bidhan Chandra Roy: The Inspiration Behind the Day

July 1st is not just a calendar date; it marks the birth and death anniversary of Dr. B.C. Roy, a physician whose legacy transformed Indian healthcare. Serving as the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, he merged medical expertise with political leadership, founding institutions like Chittaranjan Cancer Hospital and the Indian Medical Association. His pioneering vision earned him the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award.

In 1991, the Government of India declared July 1st as National Doctors Day to recognize the relentless service, integrity, and expertise of doctors across the nation.

By dedicating July 1 to thank you doctors messages and celebrations, India pays tribute to his legacy and to the generations of doctors he continues to inspire.

As we celebrate National Doctors Day 2025, let’s recognize not only their skill but also their sacrifice. Whether you’ve recovered from an illness, found comfort in their words, or simply trust them with your family’s health, take a moment to honour the doctor who made that possible.

Let this day be a call to not only thank doctors but also support policies, institutions, and initiatives that prioritize their well-being, education, and professional growth.
