The United Doctors Front (UDF), in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports, organised the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue 2026 \u2013 Young Professionals Roundtable at the Government Medical College, Amritsar, on the occasion of National Doctors’ Day. The discussions centred on the theme ‘Fit Bharat \u2013 Hit Bharat’, bringing together doctors, medical students, healthcare professionals and administrators to deliberate on healthcare challenges and youth participation in nation-building.Punjab Governor Gulab Chand Kataria attended the programme as the chief guest, while Brigadier Harcharan Singh (VSM), Arjuna Awardee, Olympian and Hockey World Cup winner, was the guest of honour. The roundtable was chaired by Dr Lakshya Mittal, Chairperson of the United Doctors Front, and moderated by Dr Simar S. Kullar, UDF Punjab Coordinator. Faculty members from Government Medical College, Amritsar, and Gursevak S. Brar (PPS), Additional Inspector General (Intelligence), Punjab, were also present.During the discussions, participants highlighted concerns over the working conditions of doctors, particularly resident doctors, pointing to long duty hours and continuous shifts that they said have an adverse impact on mental health and overall well-being. Speakers noted that strengthening healthcare requires adequate support and recognition for medical professionals.The panel also discussed the importance of nutrition, fitness and work-life balance. Participants encouraged healthcare professionals and young people to incorporate regular physical activity into their routines, emphasising that maintaining physical and mental health is essential despite demanding work schedules.Addressing the gathering, Dr Lakshya Mittal said, “On Doctors’ Day, we should not only honour doctors but also look at the real issues they face every day. Long working hours and mental stress are affecting many doctors, which directly impacts the delivery of quality care to patients and this needs practical solutions. If we want good healthcare for people, we have to take care of those who provide it. Supporting doctors is not a favour\u2014it is necessary for a healthier Bharat.“He further added, “At the same time, fitness, good nutrition and participation in sports should become a part of everyone’s lifestyle. No matter how busy life gets, we must take some time for ourselves because a healthy nation can only be built by healthy individuals.”During the event, the United Doctors Front launched two public awareness campaigns. The first, the Drug Free Bharat Campaign, promoted awareness against substance abuse and highlighted the National De-addiction Helpline (14446). The second campaign, titled “The Gift of Life”, encouraged organ donation through the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (NOTTO).Medical students and young doctors who participated in the dialogue were awarded certificates at the conclusion of the programme.<\/div>\n
