October Special Days!!
October 24th
National Doctors' Day is a day celebrated to recognize the contributions of physicians to individual lives and communities. To appreciate the services of doctors, every October 24 we commemorate National Doctors Day.
Every October 24, Indonesia commemorates the National Doctor's Day, which is also marked with the birthday celebration of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI). This year IDI reaches 67 years old.
The newly-inaugurated Jakarta Governor Anies Baswedan on this occasion also expressed his gratitude for sincere dedication of the doctors. Anies is also grateful, because the doctors have sincerely devoted not only to the people of Jakarta, but also to the entire Indonesian people.
"Happy National Doctor's Day. Many thanks for the sincere dedication of doctors in Jakarta and throughout Indonesia," tweeted Anies, as cited from his Twitter,
