Today, National Medical Day i.e. Doctor’s Day is being celebrated all over the world. It is celebrated every 1 July. On this day, respect is displayed for all doctors around the world. After God, if someone is the protector of our life, that doctors. If there is any kind of health problem in our life, the doctor does not pay from giving immediate rest.
The biggest illness breaks with the protector of our life, but hardly the doctors are not able to take care of our own health. According to the information, doctors are suffering from serious mental illness like burnout in which a person is badly stressed but works.
Let me tell you that the theme of doctors’ day celebrated on 1 July in 2025 has been done keeping in mind the health of all doctors. The theme of this year is also based on this, ‘Behind the Mask-Careing for Caregirl’. That is, it is also necessary to take care of the health of your health. Here, we can understand from the data that our doctors who are aware of our health are struggling with some mental problem themselves. Because the doctors are in the hands of the doctors, they can save the patient’s life or not.
According to the RTI data of the National Medical Commission here, between 2018 and 2023, 119 medical students in India committed suicide, 58 of them were postgraduate students. The figures may scare but make it realize that our doctors are also not healthy. They are passing through mental trauma. Young doctors have to shift 36-36 hours without rest, despite all these efforts, they are also victims of violence many times.
Let me tell you that, burnout is one of a kind of serious illness where especially in high pressure sections like cardiology, where every second matters. About this, senior cardiologist and surgeon at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi, Dr. Niranjan Hiramath says in the last few years, we have seen dramatic changes in health services. Here the way doctors keep giving us courage to fight the disease, doctors need love and sympathy. You should know about this problem.
