Family of Eileen Rushe to continue work of HPV vaccine campaigner

And if you never met her, go and read her blog and as she would say herself, make sure you check your bits."

The family of a much-loved HPV vaccine campaigner have promised to continue her work on women's health issues on the first anniversary of her death from cervical cancer.

Brave Eileen Rushe received "heartfelt apologies" from the HSE for failings in her care at the Louth County Hospital just months before her passing on September 28 last year.
