The report, in the form of a research project, is the first of its size and scope to be carried out among lesbian, gay, bissexual and transgender (LGBT) communities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Macedonia, Moldova and Romania. As such, the data collected will serve to inform ongoing advocacy and policy work.
The report presents the findings on health and access to the health care system by the LGBT communities in five Central and Eastern European countries, as well as draws conclusions and makes recommendations to the relevant stakeholders, including international organisations. It also introduces a methodology and lessons learnt, which could be used for further research.
