Savita medics to be interviewed in coming days

Medics involved in the care of a pregnant Indian woman who died after suffering a miscarriage will be interviewed over the next three days, health chiefs have revealed.

A seven-strong team, headed by professor of obstetrics and gynaecology Sabaratnam Arulkumaran, will examine case notes and medical guidelines to establish whether she received the best possible care.

Savita Halappanavar, 31, died on Oct 28 after contracting septicaemia. Her husband has claimed she was denied an abortion as she miscarried 17 weeks into her pregnancy.
