Dr. Nimer Mohammad Khraim, a 28-year-old Veterinarian from An-Najah National University, was awarded with the Merial Gustav Rosenberger Memorial Prize
during the Opening Ceremony of the World Buiatrics Congress held in Budapest.  Over 2700 world specialists in the field of bovine medicine attended this important meeting gathering.  Gustav Rosenberger was the founder of the World Association for Buiatrics.
Awarded every two years, the Merial Gustav Rosenberger Memorial Prize takes the shape of a further education grant attributed to a young and promising veterinarian from an emerging country identified as being able to make an important contribution to research in bovine medicine in a Faculty in Western Europe and subsequently to share this knowledge with his peers in his country of origin.   This opportunity is made possible thanks to the combined action of the Fund and sponsorship by Merial which is used to cover tuition and living expenses during the training period.   Dr Khraim will be following a 2-year PhD course at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Hannover in Germany.
“I am very honoured to have received this prestigious prize” stated Dr Khraim current Director of the Unit for Surgery and Anesthesia at the College of Veterinary Medicine in An-Najah; “it represents a most fantastic opportunity to broaden my horizons, to attend a further education course in the most prestigious Clinic for Diseases of Cattle in Hannover where I will soon be involved in the novel field of pain management and studying the latest developments if the use of anesthesia in cattle, under the expert tuition of Dr Juergen Rehage. I look forward to this opportunity to increase my skills which will help me build a centre of excellence for cattle medicine and surgery in my country” says Dr Khraim.
