celebrated in India on the 1st of July. This observance fulfills a need to show
the doctors and physicians in our lives how important they are to us and how
invaluable their treatments are that cure us. The celebrations are indicative
of the respect that they command in the lives of their patients and thus
obligate them to fulfill their responsibilities as well.
There are several ways that this
day is observed, including the greeting of physicians by their patients with
greeting cards, flower arrangements. Special meeting are often convened to
commemorate the day and honor doctors for their performances. Commemorative
dinners can also be arranged by hospitals or other organizations to felicitate
the medical fraternity.

be attributed to the significance of a this honor being celebrated in India.
The large population of India depends
on the efficiency and responsibility of physicians to a large extent at all
times Medical professionals 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 failing career owing to a lack of
commitment There have been instances of public violence and protests against
doctors when they have failed to perform. This holiday 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.
