Creativity with a humanitarian message… and an achievement that raises the profile of Nineveh’s medical school! Abdulrahman Ahmed Adai, a fourth-year student at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Nineveh, made an outstanding impression at the Visual Arts Festival hosted by the University of Baghdad, securing third place alongside his fellow students from the University of Nineveh amongst the 63 participating Iraqi universities.
This distinction was achieved as part of the festival’s fourth theme, in the creative arts competition, through a collaborative painting that depicted the status of the mother and the meanings she embodies: love, sacrifice and generosity. The student’s participation was not limited to the competition; he also exhibited a collection of his calligraphic works as part of the University of Nineveh delegation, which took part under the leadership of Dr Tamara Riad Thanoun.
This is yet another achievement to add to the record of innovations by students at the Faculty of Medicine, underlining their outstanding presence in the scientific, cultural and artistic fields.
