The new health minister is Ewa Krajewska

Women are in the majority in the new government - representatives of the coalition of democratic parties have already managed to comment that the Law and Justice Party recalled women when it needed a willingness to give a face to defeat, since women were scarce in previous governments. One of the women who swore allegiance to the provisions of the Constitution and other laws of the Republic on Monday is Ewa Krajewska, until now Chief Pharmaceutical Inspector.

Ewa Krajewska holds a master's degree in pharmacy, specializing in hospital pharmacy. She also completed postgraduate studies at the Faculty of Management at the University of Warsaw and an MBA in Public Healthcare carried out in a consortium between Cracow University of Economics, Cracow Business School and Lazarski University in Warsaw. She was appointed to the position of Chief Pharmaceutical Inspector on February 8, 2021, and previously - since March 2020. - she served as deputy director of the Department of Drug Policy and Pharmacy at the Ministry of Health.

Thus, Katarzyna Sójka (who, by the way, made no secret of the fact that if she had been offered to continue working at the ministry for three months, she would have accepted it) bid farewell to the Health Ministry. On Monday, she said goodbye to the ministry's employees, thanking them for their cooperation and emphasizing that much had been achieved during that time. What specific achievements the former minister had in mind, the ministry's official account did not specify.

Law and Justice (PiS) Chairman Jaroslaw Kaczynski was absent from the ceremony at the Presidential Palace, although his interview with PAP was published Monday morning, in which he said that an expert government, rather than a political (or party) one, was his original idea, calculated, he explained, for a third constitutional step if Donald Tusk's government fails. In this third step, President Kaczynski said, a similar (or perhaps even the same) cabinet could be headed not by Mateusz Morawiecki, but by the leader of the Polish People's Party. Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz (who is expected to be head of the Ministry of Defense and first deputy prime minister in Tusk's government) was supposed to be offered the job of heading the United Right and PSL government after the elections, but there is no indication that he will take it seriously. PSL politicians on Monday consistently denied that anyone was in talks with the Law and Justice Party about either supporting Morawiecki's government or forming a coalition with the Law and Justice Party.
