Within the program\u2019s implementation framework, good practice and advocacy actions have been studied and evaluated, such as the Program DIATROFI on Food Aid and Promotion of Healthy Nutrition. The DIATROFI Program has contributed in decreasing health inequality in Greece. Following the example of the Program, the State has \u00a0adopted a similar initiative of providing food aid in Greek public schools.

Most of them, due to financial difficulties are forced to choose between healthcare and everyday necessities such as food, clothing and even housing. In particular, people who have been forced to leave their country due to war or poverty are often confronted with far greater barriers to access those services.<\/p>\n<p><b>Prolepsis Institute supports the fundamental right of all people to health and defends their right to obtain equal access to health services as a prerequisite for achieving social justice and inclusion<\/b>.
