Medical care

What to do when you need urgent care in Kainuu?
When you need urgent medical care, during office hours on weekdays contact your local health centre.

Visit the hospital emergency clinic by first calling The Medical Helpline 116 117

The Medical Helpline 116 117 will give further instructions or an estimate of the appointment time if the situation requires a visit in the emergency clinic.

Calling The Medical Helpline first will reduce the waiting time in the emergency clinic. Please note that your estimated appointment may delay due to more urgent patients.

If needed, bring only a necessary escort, such as a parent of a child, or a relative of an elderly person.

Entrance to the emergency clinic is the door F2 “Päivystyspoliklinikka” on the west side of the hospital.

In life-threatening and other emergencies, always call 112
