First aid and emergencies

Emergency health care is for people who need emergency treatment and care. Patients are examined and treated in order of urgency.

Patients requiring immediate treatment, such as heart attack or stroke patients, are given priority. Others are examined in order of arrival.

Opening times are from 10:00 – 16:00 from Fri 10 April – Mon 13 April. The telephone service numbers of local health stations are working normally from 8:00 – 15:00. This also applies to those living in Vähäkyrö.
