Dutch king pays tribute to cervical cancer campaigner Adrienne Cullen

King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands has paid tribute to the late Adrienne Cullen (58), the Irish woman who died of cancer last New Year’s Eve as a result of medical negligence at a major Dutch university hospital.

Speaking to Irish journalists in The Hague, the King– who will be accompanied on his Irish visit next month by Queen Maxima – spoke of Adrienne’s “altruism” and “dignity” in campaigning for “transparency” in the Dutch medical system.
