She was regularly in the media. For example, as a temporary replacement for Ernst Kuipers as chairman of the National Acute Care Network. “I got a lot of positive reactions to that,” says Kuper. “On social media, they weren’t always positive and sometimes just negative. But that’s something you have to get used to when you’re in the media. If it’s negative in terms of content, then I can handle it well, it helps me that to form my opinion. If it gets personal, I find that more annoying, but I can put it aside.”
