Children and adolescents
Porvoo Hospital operates a primary health care service between 4 pm and 10 pm where children and adolescents receive urgent medical care.
Our hospital has a children's outpatient unit where children and adolescents are treated on referral on weekdays 8:00 am–3:30 pm. Our hospital does not provide a 24/7 specialist medical care service for children and adolescents.
Estimated duration of an emergency department visit
At the hospital emergency clinic, we always assess the need and urgency for treatment first. Based on this, you will be referred to a nurse or physician. Patients are treated in the order of urgency, not in the order of arrival. Because of this, a patient who has arrived after you may be admitted for treatment before you.
