The Minister of Health has reconsidered the decision regarding the rejection of a sterilization application based on discriminatory racial grounds. The application was originally rejected despite the fact that the applicant’s Roma origin was mentioned in the medical documentation as the reason for the sterilization.

The woman will thus be compensated and was awarded an amount of 300 thousand crowns.
