National Doctors Day, known as Hari Dokter Nasional, is observed in Indonesia on October 24. This day commemorates the founding anniversary of the Indonesian Medical Association (Ikatan Dokter Indonesia), which was established in 1950, although its roots trace back to 1911 with the creation of the Association of Indian Doctors. The celebration recognizes the contributions of medical professionals in Indonesia, where there are over 80 medical schools producing approximately 8,000 graduates annually. The day highlights the historical development of medical education in Indonesia, beginning with the establishment of the first medical school, STOVIA, in 1851. The Indonesian Medical Association plays a significant role in this observance, which honors the dedication and service of doctors across the country.
