About this project
<p><span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif">The project proposes to improve access to health services for 1900 people from vulnerable groups from Sighisoara and nearby areas, of which 15% are Roma, to improve the health infrastructure in remote areas, to raise awareness about health and prevention among adults and children and to develop skills among health professionals and local authority staff. Following the opportunity analysis, priority was given to the need to increase access to health services in isolated rural communities of the Sighisoara area, lacking health infrastructure (no family doctors, dispensary, etc.).</span></span></p>
