Dr. Mateja de Leonni Stanonik again to be appointed Honorary Consul of Slovenia in Tucson, Arizona

TUCSON, Ariz. - June 13, 2023 - PRLog -- A number of countries, including the Republic of Slovenia, engage private individuals as honorary consuls to expand their diplomatic reach and receive additional advice and counsel. Honorary consuls are "honorary" because they are not paid a fee for their services, they perform their work on an honorary basis.

Dr. de Leonni Stanonik explained in her motivation in a letter: because of her extensive contacts in, and communications with, the scientific community in the U.S. and Slovenia, she will be able to foster scientific cooperation in areas such as Telemedicine and medical first responders (paramedics). Furthermore, Phoenix and its surroundings (almost 6 million people) have become a mecca for innovative companies in biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, new smart technologies and artificial intelligence. Dr. de Leonni Stanonik will be able to promote cooperation between Slovenia and the U.S. particular in these areas.

Dr. de Leonni Stanonik also received the endorsement of Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. of Arizona, who noted in his recommendation to the Honorable Tone Kajzer the many community activities she has participated in, such as health initiatives among the U.S., the EU and Africa, as well as the furtherance of Telemedicine to make medical care universally accessible.

Dr. de Leonni Stanonik elaborates, "I am looking forward to once again serving the relations between the U.S. and Slovenia, particular in the area of my expertise, that is neurology and universal health care through Telemedicine..."
