Total number of individuals above 18 years old, regardless of gender and ethnicity, who directly access or utilise healthcare services that have been developed, expanded, or enhanced with Grants' support. These services may include medical treatments, preventive care, diagnostic services, or health education initiatives. Beneficiaries must have directly interacted with the service or received tangible benefits (e.g., attended a clinic, received a vaccination, completed a diagnostic test, or participated in a health programme).

Indirect beneficiaries, such as those who benefit secondarily from improved public health systems, do NOT count towards this indicator.

New services are defines as introduced to address previously unmet healthcare needs. Improved services are defined as existing services upgraded to increase quality, accessibility, or effectiveness.

If your programme targets women, consider making this indicator gender-specific. If not, this indicator should be disaggregated by self-reported gender (in non-binary terms): female / male / other / prefer not to say. It can also be disaggregated by age, using these categories: young ≤ 29 years old / adult ≥ 30 years old / prefer not to say. Please see the Guidance on the use of the core indicators library.

If your programmes targets individuals from marginalised backgrounds, consider customising this indicator as follows: Number of people from deprived or segregated neighbourhoods or settlements directly benefiting from supported healthcare services. Deprived or segregated neighbourhoods or settlements are geographically concentrated areas—often at the margins of towns, cities, or in rural regions—where residents, frequently Roma or other marginalised groups, face limited access to public services, poor infrastructure, and social and economic exclusion. These areas may be identified using tools such as the Atlas of Roma Communities in Slovakia or similar national mapping systems.
