Konstanty Mikołaj Melchior Maria Radziwiłł[1] (Polish pronunciation: [kɔnˈstantɨ raˈd͡ʑiviww] ⓘ; born 9 January 1958) is a Polish politician, physician, from 2023 to 2024 serving as ambassador to Lithuania.[2] He was Poland's Minister of Health from 16 November 2015 to 9 January 2018. He is a former Voivode of the Masovian Voivodeship (2019–2023),[3] and member of the Polish Senate and a past president of the Chamber of Physicians and Dentists.
He graduated from the Medical University of Warsaw.[4] He is a member of the aristocratic Radziwiłł family.[1]
He has been married since 1979 to architect Joanna Dąbrowska (born in Warsaw in 1959), and the couple have four daughters and four sons.[1]
Born in Wrocław on 9 January 1958, he is the eldest child and only son of the 1979 marriage of Albert Hieronym Radziwiłł (1931–2010) with Anna Czartoryska, born 1932.[5] His parents married at Puszczykowo and his sisters were born in nearby Poznań in 1959 and 1961,[5] but from the age of seven he was raised in Warsaw.[1] His father was a business school graduate.[5] He belongs to the Szydłowiecki branch of the historically princely House of Radziwiłł,[1] which owned an estate at Zegrze from the 19th century.[5]
His paternal grandfather, Constantine, fought as a Polish officer in the Warsaw Uprising and was murdered by the Nazis in 1944,[1] 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 joined the NZS (1980–1982), while still in college.[1]
