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 Co Hospital just months before her passing on September 28 last year.
Despite the cancer spreading to her brain, the 35-year-old continued to campaign for the HPV vaccine until her final days and always spoke about feeling blessed to have an amazing family and community around her.
