TANKER Foundation Founder-Trustee, Dr Georgi Abraham, was among the distinguished doctors and professors of the medical fraternity who were honoured with the Omnicuris CME Excellence Awards 2021.

Dr Georgi Abraham was presented the CME Excellence Dronacharya Award for ‘Exceptional CME efforts in Nephrology’.

In his acceptance speech, which was delivered online, Dr Georgi Abraham said he started teaching from 1994 in the University of Kuwait and then followed it up with teaching in other countries.

Though he enjoyed teaching, he said, from February 2020, in-person teaching had to be discontinued. But they had hooked on to the digital platform and were reaching out at the local, national, regional and international level. It has been a great platform for one-and-a-half years, he added.

Dr Georgi Abraham said he was humbled by the award and was extremely thankful for the honour.
