Student Health Care
Student Health Care is meant for you who are studying at a secondary school, such as an upper secondary school, vocational school or folk high school, regardless of where you live. Student Health Care organises healthcare services for students and promotes the health and ability of students to study as well as wellbeing in the learning environment and student community.
Students attending universities and universities of applied sciences and should turn to the FSHS – Finnish Student Health Service for student healthcare.
Activities of Student Health Care
The purpose of student health care is to maintain and promote students’ wellbeing by the following ways:
- Promoting healthy and safe learning environments and wellbeing in the learning community.
- Promoting and monitoring student’s health and ability to study.
- Providing healthcare services to students, including activities related to mental health and addictions, as well as promoting sexual health and oral health care.
- Identifying the need of students for special support or examinations at an early stage, supporting students and, if necessary, directing them to further examinations and treatment.
Payment for non-cancelled or a late cancelled booking. If you are unable to come for a scheduled visit to the doctor, you must cancel your appointment no later than the previous working day. If you do not cancel your booking and fail to arrive, you will be charged a fee of EUR 51.50. The fee is charged to anyone over the age of 18.
