National Doctor's Day is celebrated to commemorate Bidhan Chandra Roy -- a renowned doctor who also served as the West Bengal Chief Minister, and whose birth and death anniversary fall on this day.
Dr. Roy was in 1961 awarded the Bharat Ratna, India's highest civilian honour, in recognition of his outstanding contributions to medicine and public service.
This day was established in 1991 by the government to honour him.
