The National Commission of Human Assisted Reproduction
The National Commission for Assisted Human Reproduction (CNRHA) is a collegiate body of the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality. It is permanent and consultative, and its main function is to advise on the use of assisted human reproduction techniques.
There are cases where the CNRHA report is necessary, such as:
- Authorize an experimental technique.
- Authorize cases of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and examination of histocompatibility antigens (HLA) not provided for in the Law.
- Authorize research projects.

The CNRHA is also responsible for contributing to the updating and dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge in assisted reproduction, as well as the elaboration of functional and structural criteria of the centers where these are carried out.
