The bereaved father of Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar has vowed to take legal action against the Irish hospital where his daughter died after being denied an abortion last October, saying he is not satisfied with the probe outcome.
The grieving parents of Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar, who died following a miscarriage in Ireland last year, say they are still waiting for justice as no one has taken responsibility for their daughter's death.
In the referendum held on Friday and results announced on Saturday, people in Ireland voted overwhelmingly to overturn the abortion ban by 66.4 per cent to 33.6 per cent.
One of the key cases influencing the debate on abortion in Ireland was that of Indian dentist Savita Halappanavar, who died of sepsis in a hospital in Galway after being denied an abortion during a protracted miscarriage in 2012.
