Channel: IOM - UN Migration
Date: 2014-10-16

IOM works towards the development of European Network of Community Health Mediators within the framework of the EQUI HEALTH project (http://equi-health.eea.iom.int/). Health mediators are often the only link between excluded Roma communities and the health system in a number of EU countries. This trailer presenting the activities of Roma Health Mediators in Bulgaria has been filmed in 2014 and will be followed by a longer documentary in early 2015 that will cover health mediation in Belgium & France as well.

The EQUI HEALTH project (http://equi-health.eea.iom.int/) is co-financed by the European Commission’s Directorate General for Health and Consumers (DG SANCO) and supported by Federal Public Service Health, Belgium; Ministry of Health, Italy; Direcção-Geral da Saúde, Portugal; Administração Regional de Saúde do Norte, Portugal; Gulbenkian Foundation, Portugal; Norway Grants/EEA Grants; Embassy of Switzerland in Croatia.
