BARRIERS FACED BY YOUNG ROMA PEOPLE IN ACCESSING HEALTH CARE PROVISION B. M. Varga - Roma Health Fund Cand. MSc EPH, University of Maastricht

Barriers A) Health inequalities B) Lack of registration in the health system B) Lack of non-formal sex-education (STDs, prevention, protection, etc.) C) Cultural heritages, e.g.: early pregnancy

United Nations Development Program (UNDP) survey  Related national governments did not cover about 20 percent of Roma respondents with medical insurance or they were not aware if they were covered. (2011)  15% percent of Roma children under the age of 14 are not vaccinated compared to 4% of children from non- Roma households. (2004)  66% of Roma stated that they could not afford prescription drugs compared to 29% of the majority population. (2004)  One third of Roma respondents, aged 35 to 54, reported health problems limiting their daily activities. (2011)

EC - Roma Health Report  The Roma population is generally younger than the non-Roma  Roma experience an approximately 20 years lower life expectancy than the non-Roma populations  The lower life expectancy is in specified cases are linked to social determinants that Roma populations are afflicted  Infant mortality rates are higher in certain Roma communities, migrant ones in particular

EC - Roma Health Report  The Report states that the average reported age of death in 2011 was 59.2 years for Roma men compared to 65.6 years for non-Roma men and 63.0 years for Roma women compared to 80.2 for non-Roma women. This number would indicate that Roma men live 6.4 or 10.8% fewer years and women live 17.2 or 27.3% years shorter than non- Roma populations.

WHO – Health 2020  An evidence-based health policy framework for Europe  - to ensure universal health care coverage  - to decrease social determinants  - to focus on public health
