National Doctors’ Day

This is how we say ‘thank you’
It’s been a challenging year for the medical industry. That’s why we’re calling on all South Africans to celebrate our healthcare heroes, through the EthiQal Doctors’ Day 2021 initiative.

Doctors’ Day is a commemorative day established in November 2018, to acknowledge the value that doctors bring to our lives, and to thank them for it. More now than ever, these outstanding professionals play an increasingly difficult role in keeping national healthcare services afloat, while facing the biggest global healthcare crisis this generation has seen, over the last 18 months.

Because of our commitment to keeping doctors in practice, we understand what they face, every day:
