Ongoing interventions
The projects currently underway within SASTIPEN – the Roma Center for Health Policies are developed in line with the organization’s mission to promote equitable access to health services, social inclusion, and respect for the rights of people from vulnerable communities, especially Roma communities. These initiatives build on the experience gained through direct work with communities and are designed to respond to real needs identified in the field.
The interventions focus on areas such as community health, prevention and health education, anti-discrimination, training for health mediators and community workers, social research, and community development. The projects include integrated interventions, advocacy activities, and technical support for local authorities and partner organizations. Through these efforts, SASTIPEN aims to improve access to medical and social services, strengthen institutional capacity, and reduce inequalities, contributing to the development of public services that are more accessible, effective, and adapted to beneficiaries’ real needs.
