Health mediation: tools developed in collaboration with slum dwellers.

Health mediators offer residents a listening ear and guidance on navigating the healthcare and prevention system. As part of this effort, they work with residents to develop prevention tools. Examples include initiatives in Grenoble with the Roms Action association and in Nantes with Médecins du Monde, focusing on sexual and reproductive health, notably through the creation of an illustrated maternity handbook for women who cannot read.
