On February 6, 1985, the Council of Ministers issued Decision 39-HDBT in 1985 regarding Vietnam Doctors' Day. Accordingly, February 27th every year is designated as Vietnam Doctors' Day.
Thus, February 27 is Vietnam Doctors' Day. February 27, 2025, corresponds to the lunar date of January 30, 2025 (Thursday).
Vietnam Doctors' Day, taking place on February 27 every year, is an occasion to honor those in the medical profession — noble individuals who have been, are, and will continue to dedicate themselves fully to the health and lives of the people.
This day is not only to acknowledge the significant contributions of doctors, physicians, and the entire healthcare staff, but also an occasion for each of us to reflect on the noble mission of the medical sector, where love and compassion are prioritized.
Vietnam Doctors' Day is also an opportunity for the entire society to remind each other of the value of silent sacrifices and the spirit of "saving others as saving oneself." Through this, we gain a deeper appreciation and gratitude for the immense contributions of the medical professionals, the unsung heroes of society.
Moreover, this is also a chance for agencies and organizations in the medical sector to draw lessons, innovate work methods, continually improve healthcare quality, and better meet the needs of the people in the new era.
