O Nama

   Professor Dr. Svetlana Vujović was born in Bijeljina, where she completed both primary and secondary education as the top student among all graduating classes of her high school. She also graduated from the Music School, specializing in piano. She completed her medical studies at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, in less than five years and immediately enrolled in a master's program with a thesis on Premenstrual Syndrome. She earned her PhD at the age of 29. In the meantime, she joined the Clinic for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases, and later became a member of the Faculty of Medicine, where she was appointed Assistant Professor, subsequently Associate Professor, and has served as a Full Professor for the past twelve years. She trained under the mentorship of Professor Dr. Dragoljub Slijepčević, an exceptionally talented scientist renowned for his broad intellectual and scholarly achievements.

   To date, she has authored 30 books and textbooks. Some of them include: “Premenstrual Syndrome,” “Menopause,” “Hirsutism,” “Transsexualism,” “Gender Identity Disorders,” “Reproductive Endocrinology,” “Endocrinology,” “Benign Breast Diseases,” and others. Of particular significance is the world-unique “First Serbian Medical Encyclopedia,” written by only two physician-scientists.

   Throughout her career, she has devoted the greatest attention to the field of sex endocrinology, where she has also achieved internationally recognized scientific discoveries. As a result, certain chapters based on her work have been included in international medical textbooks. She was one of the founders of the Belgrade Gender Identity Team in 1989, making Belgrade, after Amsterdam, the second center in Europe dedicated to this field.

    She has taught numerous generations of medical students and has subsequently served as a mentor for master's theses, subspecialty training programs, and doctoral dissertations.  

   Based on her achievements in the fields of menopause, reproductive endocrinology, and sex endocrinology, she was elected to the “European Menopause Board,” subsequently becoming a board member of the “International Menopause Society,” the “Euro-Asian Society for Gynecological Endocrinology,” and she is currently a board member of the “International Society for Gynecological Endocrinology.” She has authored 563 scientific papers published in national and international journals.  

    She is the President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Menopause and Involutive Hypoandrogenism, the Serbian Association for Sex Endocrinology, and the Belgrade Gender Identity Team.

    She founded the National Center for Infertility and Sex Endocrinology, where she serves as Head. She is also the Head of the Clinic for Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases at the University Clinical Center of Serbia.

    Thanks to her innovative ideas and research, she identified factors that had prevented many women from becoming pregnant. In seemingly hopeless situations, she has helped enable the birth of 3,423 babies to date.

   She has organized numerous congresses and symposia, including international events, among them a world congress held in Belgrade in 2017.

   She enjoys painting, dancing, skiing, and playing the piano.

    Despite numerous attractive offers to join leading medical centers around the world, she chose to remain in Serbia and contribute through her work to the advancement and reputation of medical science. Shortly before the NATO bombing in 1999, she returned from a congress in Italy to be with her people.

    She is a patriot and a person of national pride, whose roots, according to written records, trace back to the sister of Emperor Dušan, making her a seventeenth-generation descendant. Her maternal great-grandfather, driven by the idea of Pan-Slavism, came from the heart of Prague. Her Šumadija and Lika heritage is also part of her genetic background.

    She believes that everyone on this planet has a certain “calling,” which she has recognized in herself and proudly fulfills for the benefit of her people.

    She has been awarded the “Star with Golden Rays” for her contributions to medicine in the Republic of Srpska, the “Karađorđe Star” for her achievements in the field of endocrinology, and the “Captain Miša Anastasijević Award” for her contribution to Serbian healthcare.
