ZAGREB, July 16 (Hina) – Scientist and doctor Alemka Markotic is the woman of the year 2020, according to “Zaposlena”, a monthly Croatian magazine dedicated to presenting female entrepreneurship and successful women.
The editor-in-chief, Ana Gruden, says that during the outbreak of COVID-19, Markotic, the head of Zagreb’s Fran Mihaljevic Hospital for Infectious Diseases, provided clear and balanced messages about the developments, and the messages of this chief epidemiologist had a calming effect.
Markotic’s professionalism and excellence in the job she does serve as an inspiration and model to all of us, particularly to women, proving that the female strength should not be underestimated, says Gruden.
The award-giving ceremony was held in Zagreb on Wednesday evening.
