Treger (née Zakher) Maya (Maja) Zalmanovna (25 December 1937, Riga) — physician.

Maya Treger was the daughter of Zalman Zakher (1904, Ludza — 1943) and Fruma Zernitskaya (1911, Rēzekne). In 1941, she was evacuated to Orenburg; in 1945, the family returned to Riga.

In 1956–1958, she worked as a disinfector at Branch No. 1 of the Riga Professional Disinfection Service. In 1958–1960, she was a student at the First Moscow Medical Institute. In 1960, she transferred to Riga and in 1964 graduated from the Riga Medical Institute.

In 1964–1967, she worked as a physician-therapist at the 10th Riga City Polyclinic. In 1967–1968, she was a pediatric doctor at Riga Nursery No. 31. In 1968, she was a resident physician at the resort polyclinic in Jūrmala. In 1969, she worked as a doctor at the pioneer camp “Cīņa.” In 1969–1971, she was a duty physician-therapist at the 3rd Riga City Polyclinic.

In marriage with Israel Davidovich Treger (1932, Riga), two sons were born: Solomon Treger (1964, Riga) and Mikhail Treger (1967, Riga).

Her father was killed at the front near Staraya Russa. During evacuation, her younger sister, Ida Zakher (1941, Orenburg — 1942, Orenburg), died.
