If necessary, you can learn more about matters related to social security, services, or rehabilitation. Our services are available to all patients, families, and next of kin confidentially and free of charge. 

Patients who do not have a municipality of residence in Finland or are not treated as residents of a municipality are charged a fee corresponding to the actual costs of treatment, unless otherwise stipulated by an international agreement binding Finland or European Union legislation. Read more about the actual costs here.
