Speaking after being formally presented the OBE,Dr Raghu Ram said

“I am deeply grateful to her Majesty, The Queen for conferring this high honour. Over the past 15 years, I have strived to replicate the best of British practices in my motherland & feel immensely proud to have been a ‘living bridge’ between the UK and India. I dedicate this astonishing moment and tremendous recognition to my family, my patients, my Colleagues at KIMS Hospitals and to the Indian Surgical fraternity world over. Proud to represent my motherland at the Windsor Castle today in the traditional Indian attire with India’s tricolor pocket square representing Bharath”.

The British Honours system aims to show gratitude publicly to those who have‘ gone the extra mile’ in their service and who stand out ‘head and shoulders’ above others in their distinction. The Queens Honours, which is part of the British Honours system has a robust and thorough selection process. The “Honours Committee” produces the list, independently of the Government, before it is submitted to the Queen through the Prime Minister. As ‘fountain of honour’ in the UK, Her Majesty, The Queen has the sole right of conferring titles of honour on deserving people from all walks of life, in public recognition of their outstanding merit, exceptional service or bravery.
