Doctors’ Day was first launched in Malaysia by the Federation of Private Medical Practitioners Associations, Malaysia (FPMPAM) on Oct 10, 2014.

The day started with a community service project, which included health screenings, an exhibition, and a blood and organ donation drive at Aeon Mall Kinta City in Ipoh, followed by inter-state games, a public forum on “Stress and drugs”, talks on Citizen’s Action in Response to Emergencies (CARE) at home and insulin therapy, and culminated with a dinner.
