Nymfodora "Nina" Berova-Orahovac (Bulgarian: Нимфодора "Нина" Берова-Ораховац; 27 November 1859 – 23 May 1945) was a Bessarabian-Bulgarian woman who was a co-founder of the School Health Institute and the student summer camp in Pancharevo.
In 1905, she was one of the founders of the women's association which established summer camps to educate and promote good health for students.
Nymphodora "Nina" Berova was born on 27 November 1859 in the village of Kubei [uk] in the Bessarabia Governorate of the Russian Empire to Yulia and Sava Berov.
[9] Berova married the Montenegrin physician Petar Orahovac [bg], whose family were also Bulgarian emigrants during Ottoman rule.
The competition for posts caused many male doctors and the media to stereotype women in the profession as lacking skills and scientific training and both the physical and mental strength for the job.
[13][14] The idea behind the summer school camp was to provide opportunities for children to participate in healthy environments and strengthen their bodies as well as their minds.
[5][15] She has been remembered for her promotion of public health and preventive medicine, as well as her activism in driving training for school doctors and summer camps for children.
