The data from recent years on chronic disease mortality in Rome's V district show a significant disparity compared to the city's central neighborhoods, with a 23% increase in chronic diseases and an 80% rise in diabetes cases. The 'Ambulatorio Popolare Roma Est', an autonomous healthcare facility founded in 2022 in Quarticciolo neighborhood, is run by over 30 volunteers, including medical specialists, therapists, nutritionists and students. The clinic provides free services such as medical consultations, psychological support and nutritional advice.

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.
