Spain's Ministry of Health calls extraordinary meeting on abortion regulation
The Spanish Ministry of Health has called an extraordinary meeting of the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System (CISNS) for Wednesday, October 14. The meeting, which will be conducted via email, is dedicated to informing autonomous communities about a draft royal decree regarding the voluntary interruption of pregnancy (IVE).
The decree aims to regulate the information provided for prior consent and the role of the clinical committee in medical cases. This follows a recent decision by the Council of Ministers to authorize the urgent administrative processing of the regulation. The initiative seeks to adapt existing frameworks to Organic Law 1/2023, ensuring that women receive clear, truthful, and objective information regardless of their location.
A key feature of the proposed regulation is the distinction between mandatory medical information and information provided only at the patient's request. For medical interruptions occurring from the 14th week of gestation, the decree specifies requirements for informing patients about alternatives, risks, and consequences.
