Summary/Abstract: Despite severe shortage of data on the health status of Roma, numerousstudies have documented health disparities between Roma and non-Romapopulation in Macedonia. Access to health services for Roma is compromisedby many factors like poverty, social exclusion, low educationallevel, unemployment, inappropriate health-seeking behaviour, cultural andtraditional norms, indirect discrimination and communication barriers.Among all, the inability of the health system to provide equity across allfunctions continues to undermine efforts to improve the health of Romaand other marginalized populations.
