About 4000-5000 gypsies live in Rome, divided in 50 communities.
The objective of our study is to individuate diseases at higher prevalence in gypsies' communities, in order to improve gypsies' health and to obtain a better access of gypsies to the National Health Care System and to health prevention programs.
