Biography

Zuzana Dolinková was born on 20 January 1983 in Topoľčany.[1] In 2007 she graduated in law from the Comenius University.[2] Following graduation, she practiced law in the private sector. From 2015 to 2021 she led the Association of Outpatient Providers (Zväz ambulantných poskytovateľov), a union of private providers of healthcare.[3]

In 2020 Slovak parliamentary election she unsuccessfully ran for the parliament on the list of the Good Choice party, which failed to pass the representation threshold. As the healthcare expert of the party she supported continuing the construction of the new hospital at Rázsochy.[4]

Following the merger of Good Choice with Voice – Social Democracy, she ran on the Voice list in the 2023 Slovak parliamentary election. Following the successful elections, she joined the government as the Health minister. She won a seat but did not become MP due to Slovak constitutional requirement forbidding government ministers to also serve as MPs.[4]

Personal life

Dolinková is divorced and has two children.[5]
