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.
