I am greatly honoured to be the winner of the OIE Photo competition 2018 in my region. Thank you OIE. Let me also add that just as the punchline says ‘Animal health and welfare, beyond the cliché’, this photo competition demonstrates that veterinary practice has gained new ground beyond its traditional barriers. Now, through photography, veterinarians from across the globe can showcase and share their daily animal healthcare activities, therefore, stimulating new ideas amongst themselves.

Official veterinarians can be present in quite emotional situations and as a hobby photographer, I am constantly trying to capture such moments. This competition was a great opportunity to show people how overwhelming our work can be.

I am very happy to be one of the winners of OIE photo competition in 208. Thanks for OIE for your global role in making sure we have disease free animals and safe international trade and ultimately healthy communities. Veterinarians role can never be questioned, we are more than just animal doctors but human doctors and public health protectors, protecting human health by managing crises such as diseases and zoonoses and foodborne diseases.

I have been a passionate photographer since I discovered the camera and have always wanted to merge my passion with my profession. I feel a greater responsibility now. I think my work is to make people aware people of the issues related to animal health and welfare in my country and to foster love and care for animals.
I thank OIE for letting students like us to be the part of this competition and providing a platform to showcase the work. It really helps people to be more aware and urge them to be more responsible towards animals. Thanks for the encouragement OIE!

As a veterinary student, I am very glad that the OIE photo competition gave me a chance to show our relationships with animals, as it is not just a job but we actually enjoy it! The welfare of animals is as important as their health. Especially beyond the cliché! I would like to thank OIE for giving me the chance to represent veterinary students from my region and showcase our work to the world.
