Editor's pick: favourite photos

December 2020 Feature Stories

December, 2020

Editor's pick photos are part of my reflection on a decade as WONCA They are favourites for various reasons - this time I’ve included a couple where I was caught in front of the camera instead of behind the camera, as well as some I think are great photos, some of WONCA leaders captured offguard, and some friends seen at conferences. All tell a story of the WONCA family.

Karen Flegg. WONCA Editor

Back to Editor's farewell - December 2020

Other photo collections

Editor's pick: WONCA memorabilia
Editor's pick: Garth Manning as CEO
Editor's pick: photos of individuals
Editor's pick: photos of groups

WONCA Editor with Dutch friends in Seoul Korea 2018, perhaps we are singing? - Job Metsemakers (left) and Chris van Weel (right) In Seoul, Korea 2018, with two of my many Spanish friends: José Miguel Bueno (left) and Salvador Tranche (rigth) and a Korean model! Caught again in front of the camera in Taiwan in 2015; with Brian Chang of Taiwan, (secretary of WONCA Asia Pacific region) and Tane Taylor of NZ, (chair of the WP on Indigenous and Minority Issues). Proof that former editors dont stop coming to WONCA conferences: Marc Rivo, my predecessor as Editor and a helpful advisor for me, in Prague in 2013 Amanda Howe in Prague 2013 - a favourite photo taken of Amanda in pink against pink. Fabulous VdGM advertising - Sara Rigon in the 2012 T-shirt Two chairs of the WP on Women: fellow Australian, Amanda Barnard (left) and Kate Anteyi from Nigeria. 2016 More women friends: Aileen Espina (left) of Philippines (current WP on Women chair) and Sameena Shah from Pakistan. Colourful women's group at the South Asia region conference in Bangladesh 2015 Fabulous photo of Sheelah Naseem in brilliant colour among Pakistan colleagues. Sheelah is CEO of the College of FM of Pakistan Gold: the golden anniversary of the Philippines Academy in 2012. Queenie Abubakar (left) and Zorayda 'Dada' Leopando in Cebu in 2012 Beautiful traditional clothes from the women promoting the Korean conference - taken in Cancun 2010 Rich Roberts sent this photo of him listening to music at the Buena Vista Social Club in Cuba. Such a classic thing to do. WONCA News April 2012. Michael Kidd enjoyed the dentistry simulation in Dubai in 2015 In Vienna 2012, Croatian colleagues Mario Malnar and Tanja Pekez-Pavlisko. It's Tanja's look of surprise that made me include this. Maybe she was just told she was organising the rural conference in Dubrovik?? In Seoul, captured together, WONCA leaders, John Wynn-Jones (left) from UK and Bob Mash (right) South Africa - they might be brothers! While at WONCA Lisbon in 2014, Michael Kidd and I visited the practice of friend Carlos Canhota (right) seen here in discussion with colleague Helena Febra Two region presidents enjoy a boat trip after a WONCA Executive meeting in Brazil 2016 - Pratap Prasad (left) from Nepal, South Asia region and Mohamed Tarawneh From Jordan, East Mediterranean region Alan Abelsohn (Canada), past chair of the WP Environment seen as many were in Seoul 2018 with face painting! Another handover time - here in 2016, Job Metsemakers transfers the chain of office for WONCA Europe president to Anna Stavdal.
