HEALTH AND THE ROMA COMMUNITY |
| Descripción: |
This document is based on the conclusions reached by means of the qualitative analysis carried out by the Group of Experts on Health and the Roma Community within the framework of the collaboration agreement between the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs and the Fundación Secretariado Gitano in 2004. The goal of this working group was to come with an initial diagnosis of the social health status of the Spanish Roma population in order to pinpoint their principal needs and thus contribute to the elimination of existing health inequalities faced by this group. This work was based on the realization that there was very little available data upon which to base tailored intervention with the Roma community. Until ad hoc research is available, it is up to the experts in the field who work with and meet the needs of the Roma population (in the areas of health and social action) to help raise awareness regarding the situation, prioritize actions and tailor methodologies. |
