Summary/Abstract: Institutional blindness toward Roma cultural patterns restrict access to social and health services for Roma drug users and therefore limits their right to health care, especially regarding their needs on relevant drug use health treatment. Poverty, inadequate family care and lack of drug use health treatment for minors make Roma drug users under the age of fifteen especially vulnerable on drug related harms. Some nongovernmental organizations offer social and health services for Roma drug users and Roma community in Municipality of „Shuto Orizari“ in Skopje, but they can not bridge the gaps made by governmental social and health institutions ignorance. Multi-sectoral and multi-professional approach can foster efforts and provide equal access to social and health care for all citizens.
