Under a research carried out by the Open Society Institute Sofia in 2007, more than half of the Roma define their health as “satisfactory”, “poor”, or “very poor”. This is by 12% higher than country’s average according to the Eurobarometer data on Bulgaria. Under the OSI survey in more of 30% of the Roma families there is at least one member with recognized heavy disease or a certain share of disablement.
