In case you have to visit a doctor in Finland
you should know a few things. It works a bit different here than in most other
countries.
In Finland you don’t have a family doctor that you
go to every time and that knows you. Finnish doctors are arranged in so called
Terveysasemat (health stations) similar to a hospital. You will most likely
meet a different doctor every time you go there. But don’t worry they all of
course have access to your medical history.
If you need an appointment, look up the number
of the health station closest to you. You can find their number and lot of
other useful information online on the website of the city of Helsinki. Don’t
forget to have your Finnish social security number ready if you have one.
Should you need any general medical information
and advice over the phone you can call the local service number (09) 10023 around the clock.
Stay healthy!
