Health information resource

We have discontinued the diagnosis-specific Health Information Resource, as up-to-date information is available on other websites. You can find reliable information, for example, on the Finnish Current Care Guidelines website (in Finnish, kaypahoito.fi).

Preventive health information is still available in English on the FSHS website under the categories below.
