'Formidable warrior' who battled Dutch medical system, Adrienne Cullen, dies aged 58
An Irish woman who was a "formidable warrior" for transparency in hospital care after she was left with terminal cervical cancer arising out of medical negligence in Holland has passed away at the age of just 58.
Adrienne Cullen, who grew up in Limerick, successfully took on the Dutch health system and campaigned for a no-gagging clause policy in medical facilities right across Europe. She died at 10.15am today at the Netherlands Cancer Institute. Ms Cullen was conferred with an honorary doctorate in Laws at University College Cork earlier this month.
