A plan has been implemented to allow access to reproductive assistance for single women or lesbian couples in the public healthcare system. This development is seen as a response to a social demand. The change is significant, as it lifts a previous veto on the service.

Details of the plan and its implications are available from El País. Further information on the plan and its effects can be found through the source, including an image of a doctor and a mother who has conceived a child through reproductive assistance.
