“A Doctor is the sacred confluence of Service, Science, and Sanskar (Values)” – Dr. Vallabhbhai Kathiria

On the auspicious occasion of Doctors’ Day, I extend my heartfelt greetings to the entire medical fraternity. This day is not just a celebration of a profession, but an ode to a sacred and noble duty. A duty where a doctor dedicates themselves wholeheartedly to the service of humanity every single day. A doctor is not merely someone who treats illnesses, but a divine messenger who strengthens society with health and morale. My journey began as a surgeon at Ahmedabad Civil Hospital and B.J. Medical College. It was there I realized that healing goes beyond medicines—it comes from emotional connection, human empathy, and a dedicated spirit of service. Surgical camps, health check-ups for the poor, and medical services in villages—these were not just professional duties for me, but divine acts of service. The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) played a crucial role in shaping my medical career. The Sangh instilled in me discipline, patriotism, and the spirit of selfless service. For a swayamsevak doctor, the clinic is not just a place of treatment—it becomes a sacred site of service. Whether during earthquakes, floods, blood donation camps, or health awareness drives—I’ve always integrated the Sanskar of the Sangh into every act of service. I firmly believe that India can become self-reliant in the healthcare sector by integrating our ancient medicinal traditions—Panchagavya therapy, cow- based Ayurveda, Yoga, Pranayama, and an ethical lifestyle—with modern science. As the Chairman of the National Kamdhenu Commission, I worked to bring cow-based medicines, natu ral immunity practices, and holistic lifestyle habits to the masses. The COVID pandemic proved that a culture-rooted lifestyle is the best form of disease prevention. A doctor doesn’t just treat a patient’s body—they are the guardians of the nation’s health. Be it in villages, remote hilly areas, public health awareness campaigns, or reducing infant mortality—doctors play an in valuable role. Even today, doctors step forward as true volunteers in the face of earthquakes, cyclones, and pandemics. I salute their unwavering dedication. I especially want to address the youth: Becoming a doctor should not be seen merely as a means to earn money with a degree. A doctor’s white coat is a symbol of service and values. Your knowledge must be filled not only with science but with compassion, empathy, and humanity. Even today, there are villages in India where a doctor’s kind gaze, a free medicine, or a sensitive consultation can change someone’s life. On this sacred occasion of Doctors’ Day, I bow to all those physicians who are selflessly devoted to the service of mankind. May you all be a form of divine blessing. I pray that your medicine as well as your demeanor heals people. Jai Hind. Jai Gaumata. Jai Arogya Bharati.
