The story is being misreported by US media for political purposes.
Savita Halappanavar died in Galway University Hospital on October 28th 2012. Three separate inquiries into her death found that she died of sepsis – an infection of the blood caused by an extremely virulent bacteria, Ecoli ESBL, rarely seen in Irish maternal health services. The HSE inquiry also found that the bacteria was also the most likely cause of Savita’s miscarriage.

The inquiries found that Savita’s case had been medically mismanaged in the hospital, with the HIQA inquiry pointing to 13 missed opportunities to save her life. The evidence that emerged from those inquiries is presented below, and is a clear and factual account of this tragic case.

Note

The reports referred to in this summary are:

The HIQA Report – the findings of the investigative report by the Health Information and Quality Authority

The HSE Report – the findings of the investigative report by the Health Service Executive

The Coroner’s Court - the findings of the Coroner ’s Court inquest into the death of Ms Halappanavar

There is a correlation between dental bacteria and heart problems or infection -- patients are always advised to have a thorough dental cleaning before surgery whenever possible. Perhaps this Indian-descended dentist was treating ethnic patients who traveled back and forth out of Ireland, and the bacteria had traveled from her clothing or hands. She said she "pushed a leg back in."
