💡The importance of being a bridge in healthcare🏥Access to healthcare is not only about having healthcare services available. It is also about being able to understand, navigate and trust those services.For many Roma people and families, cultural, social and communication barriers can make this process more difficult. This is where Roma healthcare professionals and Roma health mediators can play an important role🤝👥Roma professionals within healthcare services can help build bridges between patients, families and other healthcare professionals, contributing to greater cultural understanding and more effective communication.💬Roma health mediators can also support people at community level, helping them navigate healthcare services, understand information and overcome some of the barriers they may encounter when seeking care.However, access to community-based Roma health mediation is not equally developed everywhere. The availability of these support roles can vary between countries and regions, leaving some Roma communities without a key resource for navigating the healthcare system.🌱 Strengthening these roles can contribute to healthcare services that are more accessible, responsive and inclusive, while recognising the knowledge and experience that Roma professionals and community mediators bring to the health system.📖 Through the RomInDis project, these issues are part of a broader reflection on the barriers faced by Roma communities and on the tools and training needed to support both Roma Health Mediators and Health Professionals.🌐 Find out more about RomInDis: www.romindis.eu#romindis #RomaVoices #romahealth #HealthMediation #culturalmediation #InclusiveHealthcare #HealthcareAccess #HealthEquity #ErasmusPlus
Reaching the midpoint of RomInDis!After the first year of implementation, the RomInDis consortium has reached an important milestone in the development of its capacity-building programme for Roma Health Mediators and Health Professionals.📚 12 training modules have been drafted: 6 for Roma Health Mediators and 6 for Health Professionals. The modules combine face-to-face learning activities with materials for self-directed online learning and are designed to strengthen knowledge and practical skills related to inclusive healthcare and access to health and social rights for Roma persons with physical disabilities.The English drafts are now moving through the review and finalisation process, before being translated into the languages of the participating countries and tested through the upcoming pilot trainings.🤝 This work builds on the evidence collected through WP2, including the contributions of 60 professionals who participated in focus groups and 180 respondents who completed questionnaires across the six participating countries.The next phase will focus on finalising the training materials and preparing the pilot activities.🌐 Find out more about RomInDis: www.romindis.eu#romindis #ErasmusPlus #RomaInclusion #InclusiveHealthcare #romahealth #disabilityinclusion #HealthEquity #EUprojects

Inclusion must reach everyone.Roma persons with physical disabilities may experience barriers that go beyond disability itself — including limited access to healthcare and social services, financial constraints, discrimination, lack of information and physical inaccessibility.These overlapping barriers can increase the risk of exclusion and make it more difficult to access essential services and fully participate in community life.ROMINDIS focuses on understanding these challenges and promoting more accessible, inclusive and equitable support for Roma persons with physical disabilities.♿ No one should be left behind.📌#fundació Privada Pere Closa (Spain)📌#Symplexis (Greece)📌#perpato (Greece)📌#RRC Skopje (North Macedonia)📌#IRMI Institute for Roma and Minorities Inclusion (Germany)📌#Sastipen – Roma Center for Health Policies (Romania)📌#research and Resource Center – RRC (Sweden) 🇪🇸🇩🇪🇬🇷🇲🇰🇷🇴🇸🇪#romindis #ErasmusPlus #RomaInclusion #disabilityinclusion #accessibility #EqualAccess #socialinclusion #NoOneLeftBehind
Accessibility is not a privilege — it is a fundamental part of inclusion and equal participation.For persons with physical disabilities, barriers in public spaces, transportation, healthcare facilities and institutions can limit independence and participation in everyday life.Through ROMINDIS, we promote greater awareness of accessibility and work towards communities where everyone can participate fully and independently. ♿📌#fundació Privada Pere Closa (Spain)📌#Symplexis (Greece)📌#perpato (Greece)📌#RRC Skopje (North Macedonia)📌#IRMI Institute for Roma and Minorities Inclusion (Germany)📌#Sastipen – Roma Center for Health Policies (Romania)📌#research and Resource Center – RRC (Sweden) 🇪🇸🇩🇪🇬🇷🇲🇰🇷🇴🇸🇪Removing barriers means creating opportunities.#romindis #ErasmusPlus #accessibility #inclusion #DisabilityRights #EqualOpportunities #IndependentLiving
Disability does not define a person’s abilities, potential or right to participate in society.Creating inclusive communities means removing barriers, challenging stereotypes and ensuring equal opportunities for everyone.Through ROMINDIS, we work towards a more inclusive society where persons with physical disabilities can participate fully and independently. ♿📌#Fundació Privada Pere Closa (Spain)📌#Symplexis (Greece)📌#Perpato (Greece)📌#RRC Skopje (North Macedonia)📌#IRMI Institute for Roma and Minorities Inclusion (Germany)📌#Sastipen – Roma Center for Health Policies (Romania)📌#Research and Resource Center – RRC (Sweden) 🇪🇸🇩🇪🇬🇷🇲🇰🇷🇴🇸🇪#ROMINDIS #ErasmusPlus #Inclusion #DisabilityRights #EqualOpportunities #Accessibility
