Amidst pressure from the public and rival political parties on 11 March 2021, he announced his intentions to resign as Minister of Health of Slovakia.[4]
Krajčí ran 2016 Slovak parliamentary election from fourth place as an independent OĽaNO candidate.[5] He received 31,781 preferential votes and was elected as a member of the National Council of the Slovak Republic.[6]
During the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election, Krajčí received 143rd place on OĽANO candidate list.[7] He received 35,515[8] preferential votes and was elected.[9] On 21 October 2020, Krajčí served as Minister of Health of Slovakia in Matovič's Cabinet.[10]
Minister of Health
In 2020, Krajčí managed to enforce a strict curfew and approve a COVID-19 machine.[11] However, the situation did not improve for two months as expected.[12]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Krajčí deployed Peter Stachura to manage the reprofiling of the hospital bed pool.[13] Krajčí made sure affordable health care for people with COVID-19 by gradually sending the hospital bed pool and managing patient transfers.[14]
Together with Igor Matovič, Krajčí secured the Russian Sputnik V vaccine for Slovakia, which they welcomed together at Košice Airport on 1 March 2020.[15] This escalated long-standing tensions between the main representatives of the coalition and finally led to the outbreak of a government crisis.[16]
Personal life
Krajčí is the author of various Christian music, including three albums of praise and worship and one children's album. He was also the editor-in-chief of the magazine Step of Christians in Society.[17]
