Urgent appointments
You can request an urgent appointment due to a sudden illness, injury, acute worsening of a chronic illness, or impairment of functional capacity that does not require emergency care but should be attended to in 0–3 days. Urgent appointments with nurses and doctors are available.
Urgent appointments need to be booked in advance. Your need for treatment will be assessed over the phone when booking the appointment.
You can also use the chat service (omaep.fi).
If you are a foreign citizen, please remember to bring your ID and your European Health Insurance Card (if you have one) with you to the emergency clinic or urgent appointment.
