National AI in health strategyInternational

Summary

In November 2025 Spain’s Interterritorial Council of the National Health System approved the Strategy on Artificial Intelligence for the National Health System (eIASNS), a roadmap to coordinate AI use in healthcare based on principles of reliability, usefulness, humanisation and universality, with shared procedures to evaluate, classify and deploy AI tools across regions.

Healthcare Implications

The strategy pushes Spanish health services to adopt validated AI solutions (e.g., imaging diagnosis, virtual assistants, hospital operations) under common governance, ethics and data-protection requirements, accelerating deployment while trying to reduce regional inequities and ensure clinical oversight.
