Travelling expenses using public transport are compensated by the national health insurance.

By car or taxi

If you use your own car or a taxi due to poor bus connections, you can apply for compensation from KELA (Social Insurance Institution of Finland). Attach your letter of invitation or outpatient card and a receipt in your application to KELA (www.kela.fi)>>. If your condition requires a special vehicle (your own car or taxi), we will write a travel certificate on request.

Parking

Temporary parking spaces (3 hours) are found in the front of the hospital. The parking spaces behind the hospital (the driveway is next to the swimming hall) do not have a time limit (map of the hospital area). In Huutoniemi, parking spaces are found around the area (map of Huutoniemi).
