Praveen Halappanavar, husband of late Savita Halappanavar, has said that he will make sure that public inquiry takes place into the death of his wife. Savita suffered miscarriage when she was about 17 weeks pregnant.

She was taken to University Hospital Galway, but the hospital said they cannot carry out abortion as Ireland is a Catholic country and the foetal heart was found to be beating. She was in the hospital for next few days and suffered septicemia and multiple organ failure.

Both the reasons became her cause of death. Now, her husband wants a public inquiry so things in detail can be known. Moreover, he has also met Health Minister James Reilly and asked him about the arrangements for critically ill people in Galway University Hospital.

The Health Information and Quality Authority (HIQA) have said they will carry out an investigation into the case. Not only the HIQA, but the Health Service Executive (HSE), has said that they will be carrying put their own review.

When asked from the Galway hospital, its spokesman said that they will lend their complete support in the HIQA inquiry. But, Halappanavar said, "We must continue to fight. I have promised her family".
