Difendere un consultorio di confine. Un’indagine online sui bisogni di salute delle donne utenti del consultorio del Quarticciolo (Roma).

Abstract

The paper highlights the limited healthcare access for women in Rome's outskirts, worsened by gender-related barriers. The progressive reduction of services at the via Manfredonia clinic has left the Quarticciolo community underserved. To address this, Ambulatorio Popolare Roma Est promotes grassroots mobilization and conducted a survey identifying local women's health priorities, like cervical cancer screening, psychological counseling, and contraception. Findings underline the clinic's critical role, advocating for its revitalization and expanded outreach, including LGBTQ+ needs.
