National Doctors Day is celebrated in many countries, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, India, Iran, the United States and Vietnam, not forgetting our very own Malaysia. Interestingly, unlike many other similar days, the date of National Doctors Day varies from country to country, and is even an official holiday in some countries like Brazil and Cuba. Malaysia’s National Doctors Day has been celebrated annually since 2014, when it was inaugurated by the Federation of Private Medical Practitioners Associations, Malaysia (FPMPAM). For the very first time, the 2019 medical outreach camp in commemoration of National Doctors Day, was held in Sabah. Dr Milton Lum is a past president of the Federation of Private Medical Practitioners Associations and the Malaysian Medical Association.
