The education of Romany health and social assistants in the Czech Republic

Original language description

The Romany people are the biggest minority in the CR. The number is ever increasing because of the migration from South-East Europe. At the same time, the health and social problems of the Romany population are rising, too. To begin to address some of the health problems of this population, a pilot community project entitled Romany Health and Social Assistant was implemented in the years 2002-04 in Ostrava. Based on the outcomes of this project and as part of the national project, the systematic education of selected Romany health and social assistants was carried out in 2005-07. These trained Romany assistants are now working in the regions of the Czech Republic where inhabitants live in large Romany communities. The project evaluation was based on aquestionnaire investigation of 170 clients living in Romany communities and on the statements of Romany health assistants. They found positive outcomes in several areas.
