Konstanty Radziwiłł, born in 1958, is a Polish politician and physician. He became Poland's Minister of Health on 16 November 2015.
He graduated from the Medical University of Warsaw. He is a member of the aristocratic Radziwiłł family.
He has been married since 1979 to architect Joanna Dabrowska (born Warsaw 1959), and the couple have four daughters and four sons.
Born PrinceKonstanty Mikolaj Melchior Maria Radziwiłł in Wroclaw on 9 January 1958, he is the eldest child and only son of the 1979 marriage of Prince Albert Hieronym Radziwiłł (1931-2010) with Princess Anna Czartoryska, born 1932. His parents married at Puszczykowo and his sisters were born in nearby Posen in 1959 and 1961, but from the age of seven he was raised in Warsaw. His father was a business school graduate. He belongs to the Szydlowiecki branch of the historically princely House of Radziwiłł, which owned an estate at Zegrze from the 19th century.
He grew up amidst traditions of patriotism and civic engagement inherited from both parents' families. His paternal grandfather, Prince Constantine, fought as a Polish officer in the Warsaw Uprising and was murdered by Nazis in 1944, while his maternal grandfather, Prince Roman Czartoryski, had won the Polish Medal of Valour in 1920 and became a prisoner of war during the Invasion of Poland.
Radziwiłł, acknowledging that he was brought up expecting to engage actively in public affairs, joined the NZS (1980-1982), while still in college.
Radziwiłł specialized in family medicine while pursuing his degree at the Medical Academy in Warsaw, undertaking post-graduate studies in the economics of health care at the University of Warsaw and bioethics.
