Hyderabad: Doctors are honoured with the status of god on earth, and also considered life-givers. Doctors are the ones who fulfil their duties in every situation and provide better selfless service to patients around the clock. There are sayings such as "Man goes to the doctor with the hope of healing when he becomes completely helpless with his body". It is said that medicine cures the disease but the doctor cures the patient. National Doctor's Day is observed every year on July 1 to honour doctors for their honesty and determination.
National Doctor's Day is observed on July 1 to pay respect and tribute to one of India's greatest doctors and the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy.

Dr Roy was awarded Bharat Ratna, the highest civilian honour, in the year 1961, and the Government of India announced the celebration of National Doctor's Day every year in 1991.
