Terveydenhuidon

Terveydenhuidon is a Finnish term that translates to "healthcare" or "health care services" in English. It encompasses a broad range of activities and services aimed at promoting, maintaining, and restoring the health of individuals and populations. This includes preventive measures, diagnosis, treatment of illnesses and injuries, rehabilitation, and palliative care.

The Finnish healthcare system is characterized by its universal access, with services largely funded through taxation. It is organized into public and private sectors. Public healthcare is provided by municipalities and regional health authorities, offering a comprehensive network of health centers, specialized hospitals, and dental services. Private healthcare providers also exist, often offering specialized services or faster access to certain treatments.

Key components of terveydenhuidon include primary care, which is the first point of contact for most health concerns, and specialized care, which is accessed through referrals from primary care physicians. Mental health services, occupational healthcare, and services for the elderly are also integral parts of the system. The focus is on accessibility, quality, and cost-effectiveness, with a continuous effort to adapt to evolving health needs and technological advancements.
