Student health care

In Helsinki, student health care services are primarily available within educational institutions. You can access the services of a school nurse through your educational institution.

In addition to the services provided by the nurses in educational institutions, our Centralised Unit of Student Health Care offers specialised services for sexual health matters, mental health support, and conducts conscription health examinations.
