In general terms, the project aims to promote the access of the Roma community to the mainstream public health services taking into account the how cultural and traditional differences between a minority group and a mainstreaming one can affect the level of health and therefore the living standards and behaviour in society.

The project also aims to shorten the distance between Roma community and public health services by addressing the main causes of the problematic in each country:

● by acquiring an in-depth knowledge about the causes, circumstances that maintain the situation of unequal access of Roma population to health public services as well as possible solutions;

● by involving public administration into the comprehension of the problematic and transferring skills on how to improve the system in order to integrate this minority;

● by identifying good practices susceptible of being transferred to other countries;

● by training service health professionals and mediators;

● and by promoting synergies between the public and the social society spheres and reinforcement of transnational cooperation.

Three are the main axes in which the project articulates:

● Training, empowerment and transferring skills to key actors;

● Trans-national partnership, reinforcement of European net-works for the eradication of health inequalities within Europe’s Roma community and mainstream society

● Promotion of mainstreaming health services to the Roma Community.

Following these considerations, the following activities are to be developed:

n Information Gathering System

n National working Groups

n Transnational Working Groups

n Training of stakeholders

n National Seminars

n International Seminar
