Ambulance Not on the Way: The Disgrace of Health Care for Roma in Europe, published by OSI grantee the European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC), explores major systemic causes for exclusion of Roma from access to health care. The report also covers various degrees of provision of inferior medical services and documents discriminatory practices and other forms of human rights abuse in health care provision, as well as exclusion from access to health care.  Research was conducted in Bulgaria, Hungary, and Spain in 2005 and includes research findings compiled in recent years in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Czech Republic, Croatia, Greece, France, Italy, Kosovo, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.

The publication is available below and on the ERRC website at www.errc.org.  For more information contact Eva Maria Foldes, efoldes@osi.hu.
