"Doctors are next to GOD"...
The contribution of doctors in safeguarding human lives is impossible to express in words. Whenever society has faced a critical situation, we, as ordinary people, have deeply felt the stature of doctors, their indispensable presence in society, and the reality of them standing by us like a banyan tree. Out of that profound reverence and to salute this great contribution of doctors as a token of gratitude, a special day dedicated to them—'Doctor's Day' (July 1st)—is celebrated every year.
For the past five years, we have been celebrating this special day with utmost devotion. Continuing that tradition, this year, under the management of 'Ektai Jibon', a grand event titled 'Post Doctor's Day' was organized on July 18, 2026, at the 'Jade Banquet' of Kolkata's traditional hotel, 'Hyatt Regency'.
