UN OCHA – UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Ukraine: Humanitarian Impact Situation Report (As of 3:00 p.m. (EET), 3 March 2022), 3 March 2022 "The situation of third country nationals from countries in Africa and South Asia and other ethnic minority groups in Ukraine, including the Roma population, is particularly concerning, as there have been numerous reports of discrimination and even violence against these vulnerable groups. The Roma population lack civil status documents, limiting access to critical services, including education and health, and potentially humanitarian assistance as many Roman internally displaced people were not registered prior to the current escalation in conflict." BTI, BTI 2022 Country Report: Ukraine, 23 February 2022 “Social exclusion of the Roma population entails exclusion from […] social services". ILO, Assessment of the Social Security Responses to COVID-19, 2021 "All the seven countries have already attained a reasonably wide population coverage of health care. Ukraine has a tax-financed national health system, and the rest of countries finance health care services through social health insurance. Compared with other branches of social security that provide income security benefits, the health insurance coverage of these countries goes beyond the workers in the formal economy, largely due to the State subsidy of certain categories of economically inactive population such as dependent family members, beneficiaries of social assistance, and registered unemployed. There are still groups excluded from coverage, such as those solely informally employed, the unregistered unemployed, and Roma population in some of the countries. […] Among other excluded groups one has to mention Roma population who are usually excluded from access to health care and social services in most of the countries in the region. […] We have not addressed the particular situation of Roma population during the COVID-19 crisis, but their exclusion from the access to health care raised alarming concerns already years ago." EASO, Ukraine FFM report – healthcare reform and economic accessibility, February 2021 "On the topic of discrimination, the representative of the IRF explained that Roma are discriminated against and can be refused care or receive worse care than other patients." ILO, Universal social protection for human dignity, social justice and sustainable development, 2019 "Globally, broad gaps in legal health coverage exist in relation to undocumented migrants, ethnic minorities, such as the Roma in Europe." Roma and Vulnerable Population Working Group, Health and Nutrition Cluster Meeting Minutes, 27 April 2015 "Lack of documents cause refusing of hospitals to treat Roma and other marginalized groups (violation of art. 49 of the Constitution of Ukraine)." COVID-19 AI – Amnesty International, Amnesty International Report 2021/22; The State of the World's Human Rights; Ukraine 2021, 29 March 2022 "In July, the government approved a national strategy to 2030 to address discrimination against the Roma community. However, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic had a disproportionate effect on this community as many relied on the informal economy for irregular earnings. 39
