O článku:
The Slovak Republic is one of the countries which are significantly affected by the problem of inequality in the field of health, related mainly to the minority groups living in the areas with concentrated poverty. The Roma population, in particular residents of marginalized Roma communities, belong to the population groups which are most vulnerable to poverty and social exclusion. Poverty demonstrates itself in all areas of life and on the human rights perspective is considered to be a barrier to Access to basic rights, including healthcare. There are several papers in which the authors pointed to the deteriorating health of the Roma population in the Slovak Republic. The paper is focused on the evaluation of infant mortality in the districts with a higher share of the Roma population, which reflects the socio-economic parameters in living standards at most. The primary aim of this paper was to verify the relationship of spatial distribution of Roma population and infant mortality in the Slovak Republic. The analysis revealed that the Roma population growth in the examined territory relates to the complementary increase of the infant mortality rate by a higher value, which is a signal of the negative development of health in the studied population, as well as insufficient efficiency of the applied prevention programmes.
