Appointments to laboratory
Most laboratory testing of students visiting the FSHS will be carried out at service units of SYNLAB Suomi Oy. Check the SYNLAB website for contact details and opening hours. Our partner units will provide laboratory testing with their subcontractors.
Laboratory testing is provided free of charge when a referral to the testing has been made by a FSHS healthcare professional. Your healthcare fee for students in higher education must also have been paid to receive testing.
This is how laboratory services will be provided
- A healthcare professional at the FSHS will give you a referral for laboratory testing at SYNLAB. Laboratory examinations performed at the FSHS are free of charge.
- After you have received the referral, you can book an appointment for laboratory tests directly at SYNLAB. You can book all laboratory appointments by phone 010 326 3260 (weekdays 7.30 am to 6 pm, Saturdays 10 am to 2 pm) or on SYNLAB’s online service (except Pori where you need to call the number 010 326 3260).
