Improving access to and delivery of quality social and health services will be done through the provision of integrated cross-sectoral services tailored to the specific needs of users, individual consultations, health examinations and socio-health mediation, raising awareness of social and health rights and health culture. The activation of the Roma community and the creation of a durable model of cooperation at local level with the participation of all stakeholders will be achieved through the functioning of a Community Center. All planned joint actions will help overcome negative stereotypes in the local community and promote tolerance. The envisaged activities are in line with the identified needs of the Roma population in Borovan Municipality.
