Visiting doctors in Finland?

Post by enquiring » Mon Jun 08, 2009 11:54 pm

If I am visiting Finland for a few weeks (I am resident of EU), shall I be able to use medical services, like for example schedule a doctor's appointment? How difficult is that, do they have such services only for Finnish residents, and are there long lines to see a specialist? Thanks a lot!

HEALTHCARE

When travelling within the EU, if you suddenly fall ill or have an accident in another EU country, you (and your family) are entitled to immediate healthcare there. For this, you need the European health insurance card (or the relevant ‘E111’ form), which you should obtain from your home country before departure. This applies only to short periods abroad.
