Chief Covid-19 adviser elected Medical Chamber head
17. December, 2020
Ljubljana – Bojana Beović, the infectious disease specialist who heads the group advising the government on Covid-19, has won the run-off vote to head the Medical Chamber.
Out of the 5,895 ballots cast by the membership, Beović won 3,154 and Tanja Petkovič, the head of the chamber’s section of care home doctors, won 2,706, the chamber told the STA last night. Ballots were cast by 51% of the membership.
After Beović’s four-year term is endorsed by the chamber’s assembly, she will formally take over from incumbent Zdenka Čebašek-Travnik, who won the lowest number of votes in the first round of voting on 17 November. Beović came only 0.5% short of an outright majority at the time.
