National Doctor’s Day: ‘Healing Hands, Caring Hearts’
Nahan, July 1
Celebrating the National Doctor’s Day, the Health and Family Welfare Department (Sirmaur) organised an event at the Chief Medical Officer’s office today.
The programme was presided over by Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Ajay Pathak.
In his address, Dr Pathak congratulated the attendees on the day and highlighted the nobility of the medical profession. He emphasised that as physicians, it was doctors’ duty to serve patients and the general public with complete dedication and selflessness. He noted that this year’s theme for Doctor’s Day was “Healing Hands, Caring Hearts”. The theme should inspire all doctors to fulfill their responsibilities with these sentiments towards human service, he said.
