The COVID pandemic has limited access to conventional healthcare systems. In contexts of social exclusion and inequality, as in Gypsy population, these difficulties become more evident. Training of professionals in cultural awareness and diversity can improve attention, in this case in relation to palliative care and death. This article reports a clinical case of end-of-life care in a gypsy community during the pandemic.
