The coordinator of the project prosperity and health of Roma women, path towards challenges, met with the Commissioner for health in the European Commission, Mrs. Androula Vasiliou.

“Be healthy, be you” was the title of the youth conference for health organized by the European Commission.

Sebihana Skenderovska in cooperation and support of the Roma Health Program from Budapest, participated on the conference where with mutual efforts the attention was turned on the serious health issues of Roma in Europa.

The Roma participants pointed out on the reality that Roma in Europe do not have the same conditions for participation in the health system, as the other nationalities in many European countries and are one of the largest minorities of this continent. Discrimination is the main factor that affirms the inequality on all fields with this old European population.
