Healthcare will speed up euthanasia in urgent cases.
Spain is creating a new guide for euthanasia. It will focus on the role of nurses and address concerns about doctors objecting. The guide will be voted on this Friday.
The Spanish Ministry of Health is developing a manual to improve how euthanasia is carried out. The manual will increase the involvement of nurses in these processes. It also requires doctors who disagree with euthanasia to inform this beforehand. This change is in response to issues about doctors saying they object without a clear reason. The Consejo Interterritorial will vote on the manual this Friday.
