The Indian Medical Association (IMA) will celebrate National Doctors’ Day on July 1, 2021 with a special program at its Delhi headquarters to pay homage to the medical fraternity.

The theme for this year’s event is “Save the Saviours.” Eminent doctors will receive Doctors’ Day Awards during the event. This will be followed by Safe Motherhood Week, starting from Wednesday.

“The IMA lost more than 1,500 eminent doctors during the Covid-19 pandemic. This sacrifice has added its shade of remembrance to the Doctors’ Day celebrations. 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.
