Please note! As of 29 April 2025, it is temporarily not possible to chat with health station professionals. The chatbot Sotebotti Hester will continue to assist clients with questions related to health and social services. Chats for other services, such as maternity and child health clinics and dental care, are operating normally.

See opening hours of our health and social services during May Day festivities (30 April–1 May 2025). 

Health care

We provide our residents with health station services, dental care, mental health and substance abuse services, as well as various rehabilitation and therapy services, such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy.

Our hospitals treat patients with cerebrovascular accidents, patients who have undergone surgery and geriatric patients. Our outpatient clinics focus on geriatrics, internal medicine, palliative care, psychiatry and substance abuse treatment.

Student healthcare services are primarily available through educational institutions. We offer services for sexual health matters, provide support for mental health issues and perform conscription health examinations.
