Marija Zdravković (Serbian Cyrillic: Марија Здравковић; 18 December 1973) is a Serbian medical doctor, administrator, and politician. She has been the director of the hospital Bežanijska Kosa in Belgrade since 2014.
Zdravković briefly served in the National Assembly of Serbia and the City Assembly of Belgrade in 2022. She is a member of the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS).
Early life and medical career
Zdravković was born in Belgrade, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Serbia in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. She graduated from the University of Belgrade Faculty of Medicine in 1998, received a master's degree in cardiology in 2005, and earned a Ph.D. in sports cardiology in 2010. She later completed post-doctoral studies in Zurich. Zdravković is credited as being the first cardiologist to Serbia to introduce cardiomagnetic resonance into regular clinical practice.[1][2]
She was appointed as a clinical assistant at the Faculty of Medicine in 2012 and became director of Bežanijska Kosa in September 2014.[3]
Politician
Zdravković led the SNS's electoral list for New Belgrade in the 2020 Serbian local elections and was elected when the list won twenty-two out of forty-nine mandates.[4][5][6] Aleksandar Šapić's Serbian Patriotic Alliance (SPAS) narrowly defeated the SNS in this municipality, and the SNS did not initially participate in the local government. The SPAS merged into the Progressive Party in 2021.[7]
Parliamentarian and city assembly member
Zdraković received the sixth position on the SNS's Together We Can Do Everything list in the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election and the second position (after Šapić) in the concurrent 2022 Belgrade City Assembly election.[8][9] In both cases, her placement was tantamount to election; she was elected to the national assembly when the SNS alliance won 120 seats and to the city assembly when it won forty-eight seats. The SNS won plurality victories at both levels of government and remained the dominant force in their respective coalition administrations.
She resigned from the city assembly on 11 June 2022 and from the national assembly on 25 October 2022.[10][11] During her time in parliament, she was a member of the health and family committee and the committee on the rights of the child, and a deputy member of the environmental protection committee and the committee on labour, social issues, social inclusion, and poverty reduction.[12]
