MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: In
Finland, medical facilities and their staff are as a rule excellent and are
widely available for emergency services. English is commonly spoken by
Finnish medical personnel. Helsinki is a frequent medical evacuation point
for emergency cases from the countries of the former Soviet Union. The
public hospital system and many private hospitals honor foreign credit
cards. Most pharmacies (“apteekki” in Finnish) are open during normal
shopping hours and major cities have at least one 24-hour service pharmacy.
If you are a tourist or temporary visitor to Finland and you require
immediate emergency medical assistance, you may visit a local medical center
or clinic, called “ensiapuasema” (first-aid station) in Finnish. Usually
these stations are located at hospitals and provide a full range of
services. The emergency telephone number, 112, can be used throughout
Finland to contact emergency medical services. For more detailed
information on medicines and medical issues, please e-mail the Finnish
Embassy in Washington, DC at
sanomat.was@formin.fi .
Information on vaccinations and other health precautions, such as safe
food and water precautions and insect bite protection, may be obtained from
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s hotline for international
travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747)

MEDICAL INSURANCE: The Department of State strongly
urges Americans to consult with their medical insurance company prior to
traveling abroad to confirm whether their policy applies overseas and
whether it will cover emergency expenses such as a medical evacuation.
REGISTRATION / EMBASSY LOCATION: Americans living
or traveling outside of the U.S. are encouraged to register with the U.S.
Embassy through the State Department’s travel registration website,
https://travelregistration.state.gov. Americans without Internet access
may register directly with the U.S. Embassy. By registering, American
citizens make it easier for the Embassy to contact them in case of
emergency.
The U.S. Embassy is located at Itainen Puistotie 14B. The telephone
number for the American Citizen Services unit is 358-9-616-25-701, 0830 to
1700 Monday to Friday (after hours, 358-9-616-25-0); the fax number is
358-9-616-25-800; e-mail:
HelsinkiACS@state.gov. The
address of the Embassy’s Internet home page is
