It is dedicated to the innumerable medical practitioners, who sacrificed their lives while serving citizens and to those numerous professionals, still serving on the frontline,” said the IMA in a press release.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will address the event at 3 PM. Further, World Medical Association and IMA ex-President Dr. Ketan Desai, NITI Aayog member Dr. V. K. Paul, Union Health Secretary Rajesh Bhushan, AIIMS Director Dr. Randeep Guleria and IMA President Dr. J. A. Jayalal will also address the people.
