One of the big, lasting legacies following the death of Savita Halappanavar has been a much greater awareness in medical practice of the danger of sepsis, which is blood poisoning.
It is a rare but very serious complication of infection which can lead to multiple organ failure and can progress very fast.
The Savita Halappanavar case led to better early identification and early treatment of sepsis.
It has saved lives.
The official cause of death of Savita Halappanavar was sepsis, linked to other factors and the verdict by the jury in the inquest in Galway in 2013 was of medical misadventure.
Maternity units and hospitals are very much more aware of sepsis now; the huge danger it poses and have early warning systems to spot the signs.
The Savita Halappanavar inquest was the joint longest inquest in Ireland and attracted national and international attention.
In the HSE panel he chaired on what occurred in the case, Professor Sir Sabaratnam Arulkumaran found that there was inadequate assessment and monitoring; all management options were not offered to her and clinical guidelines that did exist on sepsis were not followed.
The clinical review also said the situation was complicated by the law here relating to termination of pregnancy.
It found an apparent over-emphasis on the need not to intervene until the foetal heartbeat stopped.
In 2017, Professor Arulkuralman said that a significant contributing factor was restrictive abortion laws here.

Following Savita Halappanavar's death, there was significant movement to see a change in the law and a repeal of the Eighth Amendment to the Constitution occurred.
The Termination of Pregnancy Act 2018 saw the introduction of termination of pregnancy where there was a physical threat to the life of the mother as certified by two consultants.
The Act permits termination to be carried out in cases where there is a risk to the life, or of serious harm to the health, of the pregnant woman, including in an emergency; where there is a condition present which is likely to lead to the death of the foetus either before or within 28 days of birth; and without restriction up to 12 weeks of pregnancy.
The Savita Halappanavar case, in part, led to that major change here.
Most but not all 19 maternity units yet provide for termination of pregnancy and currently about one in eight GPs provide that medical service.
Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly has said that the number of hospitals providing the service will increase within a year or two.
Recently, the Pro-Life Campaign said it is unfair and wrong for pro-abortion campaigners to invoke the ten-year anniversary of the tragic death of Savita Halappanavar to push for a further expansion of the Irish abortion law.

In the years since her death, Ireland has also seen a wider spotlight on the role of religious orders in healthcare.
During the Savita Halappanavar inquest, the issue of religion arose.
We have seen the debate over the new national maternity hospital and its planned move to the St Vincent's University Hospital campus and whether all services legal in the State will be provided there.
In May 2017, the Religious Sisters of Charity announced that they were ending their involvement in the St Vincent's Hospital Group.
University Hospital Galway has said that all the recommendations from the three reports into the case have been fully implemented.
Clinicians say that no single incident has ever caused so much change in the provision of healthcare.
The changes since the Savita Halappanavar case are significant, long lasting and have directly affected how patients are treated.
