National Doctors’ Day History and Significance
In March 1933, Georgia celebrated National Doctor’s Day for the first time. Dr. Charles B. Almond’s wife, Eudora Brown Almond, decided to set aside a day to commemorate the physician. For the first celebration, a greeting card was sent and flowers were laid on the grave of the deceased doctor. In 1958, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution commemorating Doctors’ Day. Legislation subsequently established National Doctors Day. Approved by the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, President George Bush designated March 30 as “National Doctor’s Day.”
This day since then honours all efforts and hard work put in by doctors to save lives. Doctors’ professions are noble professions because they are constantly striving to make people feel better, whether by taking medication or performing complex surgery.
