MP Irene Ojala has introduced a proposal to add a new constitutional provision guaranteeing the right to necessary healthcare, including safe childbirth and accessible maternity services. The proposal draws on international human rights conventions and earlier proposals that failed to secure sufficient parliamentary support. The proposer argues that a constitutional guarantee is essential to ensure that state authorities prioritize resources for healthcare and maternity services throughout the country.
