- No Comments on MPs Review Draft Law to Allow teens Access Family Planning Services Without Parental Consent
Members of the Parliamentary Committee on Social Affairs commenced the review of a draft law on Monday, 17 February 2025, that proposes significant changes to the regulation of health services for young people.
The proposed legislation, first approved on 5 November 2024, includes a provision allowing individuals aged 15 and older to independently access family planning services without the need for parental consent.
In addition to granting minors the right to access reproductive health services, the draft law also ensures that young people aged 15 and above can receive reproductive health information and make decisions regarding their health without parental involvement.
