AI-generated Abstract
This presentation discusses the findings from projects aimed at improving the health situation of Roma communities through the National Network of Roma Mediators, executed by SASTIPEN in collaboration with the National Institute for Public Health. Focused on enhancing the network of health mediators, the projects introduce team-based interventions that combine health mediators with community medical assistants to address various health issues, notably maternal and infant health, reproductive health, and preventive care. The intervention responds to a significant decline in the number of health mediators following structural reforms in Romania that inadvertently compromised healthcare access for Roma populations. Key findings highlight the positive impact of community health mediators and emphasize the necessity of preventing adverse effects of policy changes through effective team structures in vulnerable communities.
