HEALTHCARE IN FINLAND
GENERAL
Public healthcare is available to all residents in Finland, regardless of their financial situation. Public healthcare services comprise primary healthcare, provided by municipal health centres, and specialised hospital care. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health draws up social welfare and health care legislation and guides its implementation.
The government social insurance agency (Kansaneläkelaitos, or KELA) provides assistance to residents in paying for healthcare. Reimbursement of medical expenses is available for doctor's fees, dental care costs, examination and treatment charges, and more. Please note however that reimbursement is not calculated on the basis of the actual costs, but a schedule of fixed charges indicating the maximum cost covered.
