She is a nurse by profession and has served in various roles throughout her career. She was present at the establishment of the Slovak Chamber of Nurses and Midwives, striving to improve the status and working conditions of nurses, as well as the situation of patients, who must remain at the center of all efforts and actions undertaken in healthcare. Respect for patients’ rights and their satisfaction with the provision of all forms of healthcare — including follow-up and long-term care — are the best indicators of high-quality healthcare. She has worked in healthcare since 1978, starting as a bedside nurse, later serving as a nurse manager and as President of both the regional and national Chamber of Nurses. During her professional practice, she completed her university studies in nursing by passing the rigorous examination at the Faculty of Medicine, Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice in 2008. In 2016, she was elected by patient organizations as President of the Association for the Protection of Patients’ Rights (AOPP). The mission of AOPP is to protect patients’ rights, provide legal counseling, participate in the preparation and amendment of legislation, promote patient education, and develop projects beneficial to patients with various diagnoses.
