Healthcare should be accessible to everyone. But is it? – Ромски Ресурсен Центар

Our desk research across six European countries — Spain, Germany, Greece, North Macedonia, Romania and Sweden — reveals that Roma Persons with Physical Disabilities (PWPD) face multiple and interconnected barriers to healthcare.

Physical inaccessibility, digital exclusion, complicated administrative procedures, financial difficulties and limited access to information can make healthcare difficult to reach.

At the same time, the lack of reliable data on Roma PWPD can make their needs invisible in policies and decision-making.

One important finding stands out: Roma Health Mediators play a crucial role as bridge-builders between Roma communities and healthcare services.

Through ROMINDIS, we aim to better understand these challenges and contribute to more accessible, inclusive and equitable healthcare for Roma Persons with Physical Disabilities.

Because being invisible in the data should never mean being invisible in society.
