Justification:
The RED CALLE project contributes to Target 3.8 by increasing health coverage for street people (SP). According to the diagnostic reports, the health aspect has been a key driver of the imaginary linked to SP; the high rates of health problems among SP show a structural deficit in this regard. Discrimination against these populations constitutes a barrier to access to the universal health system. In the case of mental health, difficulties are even greater. In all countries it is necessary to make progress in specific programmes for the treatment of dual pathologies or addictions.
Indicator 3.8.1
Coverage of essential health services (defined as the average coverage of essential services based on tracer interventions that include reproductive, maternal, newborn and child health, infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases and service capacity and access, among the general and the most disadvantaged population)
Justification:
The project contributes to this indicator by proposing regional guidelines on minimum standards for the provision of services, including health services, aimed at the population in street situations while ensuring access to and quality health care in general, and mental health services in particular.
