Guidelines for Activists in Addressing Access to Health Care and Vaccination for Roma and Sinti

On average, Roma and Sinti life expectancy is between five to twenty years shorter than that of the mainstream population. This is mainly due to preventable risks such as malnutrition, inadequate housing conditions and the inability to afford healthcare services, as well as the impact of racist and discriminatory practices from healthcare institutions and professionals.

This guide aims to support civil society, human rights defenders and activists, public institutions and other stakeholders in implementing health-related activities to increase Roma and Sinti access to healthcare and vaccination services as a core human right.
