If you have long-standing health complaints, book an appointment to see a doctor. If you need an interpreter, ask about it when you book the appointment.

Use telephone service to make an appointment at a health center. If you can’t use the telephone service, visit the nearest health center to make an appointment. Ask for more information about appointments and self-care at the health center. If needed, you can visit immigrants’ nurse at the main health center at Viipurintie.
