Dr.med. Vera Zylka-Menhorn cannot yet look back on her entire work of life since she is just 52 years old and surely will have a lot to do´...
Though she is journalist for 20 years now. On April 25, 2006 she got the Walter-Trummert-medal from Prof.Dr.med. Peter Sefrin in the name of the
association of the german medical press, this happened in Wiesbaden where this association had a yearly meeting.

Zylka-Mehnhorn, born on May 3, 1954, studied medicine in Cologne (1972-1979) and became specialized in Anesthesy. She was much interested in the athmosphere
in the operation rooms.

In 1986 she swithced over to journalism, beginning at the big german newspaper "DIE WELT" (1986-1990), then as free lance and finally she came to the "Deutsches Ärzteblatt". There she is responsable for the "Medizinreport" which is commenting actual medical reports. She is emphasizing precise information about new products and procedures and is never shy to use clear words.

By the way the prize was donated by two competing companies -people were smiling about this fact. Their teams were sitting on different tables but were unified in the intention to honorate critical journalism......
