Prime Time Special on the Death of Savita Halappanavar
The husband of Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar, who died of blood poisoning in an Ireland hospital after being denied abortion, has demanded a public inquiry into the death.
In an interview to Ireland’s RTE TV channel, Praveen Halappanavar said he would not meet the chairman of the Health Service Executive (HSE) inquiry into his wife’s death. The family, he said, wants a public inquiry funded by the government.
“I had to answer the family back home… They couldn’t believe it. It was such a simple case,” Mr Halappanavar said on the channel’s Prime Time programme.
