ShowUp4Health. Building Trust in Roma Communities and Internally Displaced People for NCD Prevention<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since 2024, the “InterFamily” clinic of the family medicine has been participating in the international ShowUp4Health<\/strong>\u00a0project, which aims to address the social and environmental determinants of health that contribute to an increased risk of non-communicable diseases in vulnerable groups, including Roma communities and internally displaced persons. The ShowUp4Health<\/strong> partnership consists of five countries: Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovenia and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Social and environmental health determinants impact the health ecosystem of vulnerable groups<\/h3>\n

In Central and Eastern Europe, Roma communities are among the most vulnerable and segregated groups. Cultural characteristics, poverty, and a distrust of systemic structures lead Roma groups to face widespread health inequalities, such as low health literacy and a low willingness to adhere to medical protocols. These health determinants then directly contribute to the Roma community\u2019s increased risk for developing non-communicable diseases (NCDs).<\/p>\n

ShowUp4Health<\/strong> believes that communities that synergise medical and social interventions can use this as a tool to build trust and facilitate higher levels of health literacy in vulnerable groups like the Roma. Cross-sectoral partnerships of stakeholders in support of vulnerable communities can also bring expertise, cooperation and resources to address complex NCD strands.<\/p>\n

The general objective of ShowUp4Health aims to address social and environmental health determinants, which contribute to the increased risk of NCDs in vulnerable groups (primarily Roma communities and secondarily internally displaced people (IDPs)).<\/p>\n

The overall goal of ShowUp4Health<\/strong> is to address the social and environmental determinants of health that contribute to the increased risk of NCDs among IDPs.<\/p>\n

The specific objectives of ShowUp4Health are as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n
