There are no additional obstacles or limitations in migrant or minority women's access to health care services, than the general obstacles migrants and minorities face. In the case of Roma women, according to the project "Information network on good practice in health care for migrants and minorities in Europe" (MIGHEALTHNET), coordinated by the National Kapodistrian University of Athens, "only a small proportion of Roma women undergoes prenatal health check. Moreover, only 60% of the interrogated women knew what PAP test is and only 10% have had a mammography at least once." |
