Zuzana Zvolenská (born 27 January 1972 in Bratislava) is a Slovak lawyer and politician and from 4 April 2012 until 3 November 2014 she was the Minister of Health of Slovakia in Fico's Second Cabinet for the Direction – Social Democracy party (Slovak: Smer-SD).
Her tenure as minister was marked by significant efforts to reform key sectors within the healthcare system including notably the health insurance sector. One key priority was to secure the re-establishment of a unitary system of public health insurance. Zvolenska announced her resignation on 3 November in response to a controversy regarding financial irregularities.
Zuzana Zvolenská was born 27 January 1972 in Bratislava, then apart of Czechoslovakia. In 1995 she graduated from the Law Faculty of the Comenius University in Bratislava and started working in the banking and insurance sector.
In 2002, she joined the National Health Insurance (Slovak: Spoločná zdravotná poisťovňa). In 2006 she was promoted to deputy Director General, as well as promoted to the Board of Directors. At the General Assembly that same year, in September 2006, she was elected as President of the Board and General Director. In 2008, she was appointed Director-General and the Chairperson of the Board of the state-owned main health insurance provider General Health Insurance Company (Slovak: Všeobecnej zdravotnej poisťovne).
Since October 2010 she was a member of the Official Board of Insurance Trust, and from February 2011 she worked at the Office of the Adviser for Health Surveillance. Following the 2012 elections, President Ivan Gasparovic appointed her Minister of Health on 4 April 2012 as part of the government of Robert Fico. Zvolenská was not a member of the Smer-SD party and she was nominated for the ministerial post as an expert from outside.
