doctors day

Doctors have a very important role in our lives. They work selflessly round the clock and help us recover all our odds. Their profession is considered to be a noble one, and to pay respect and honour their hard work, every nation celebrates the Doctor’s Day. In India, this day is celebrated today to honour the legendary physician and the second Chief Minister of West Bengal, Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy. His birth, as well as death anniversary, dates today. Dr Roy was awarded Bharat Ratna too. 

Indian Television has highlighted medical concepts on many occasions and today we bring a list of few shows that proved to hit the right chord with the audience. Have a look at them here…
