We treat patients in the order of medical urgency. The issuance of a certificate is usually not an urgent matter, except in the event of a sudden onset of an illness.
Certificates and statements are only issued in Finnish or Swedish. We do not issue certificates for hobbies, competitions, student exchange years or travel.
The majority of statements and certificates not related to the treatment of an illness are subject to a fee. An exception to this are doctor's medical opinions required for the provision of treatment or rehabilitation, for which no fee is charged.
You can find the contact information of health stations at hel.fi/healthstations.

- Please note! As of 1 April 2025, a doctor’s medical opinion for a driving licence should be primarily requested from a private service provider. If your upper secondary education studies require you to obtain a driving licence and you need a medical certificate and a doctor’s medical opinion for it, please contact your student health care nurse.
If you would like to book an appointment, please contact your team via the Maisa service and state in your message what kind of a statement you need.

The Communicable Diseases Act states that the employer must require a reliable statement from the employee that the employee is not infected with salmonella when they work in duties with a high risk of spreading salmonella.
The certificate is required:
- immediately at the start of employment if the duration of the employment is at least one month
- any time there is a reason to suspect a salmonella infection.
The health check-up is carried out by the occupational health care provider, at a health centre or in student health care as an interview with a doctor or nurse.
A laboratory examination is required if:
- the employee currently has or has had diarrhoea with a fever (at least 38 °C) in the past month
- a member of the employee’s family has been diagnosed with a salmonella infection.
Please note: Asymptomatic employees are not required to undergo a laboratory examination after travel.
