Maternity and child services

Maternity and child health services include services of the maternity and child health clinics and sexual health services. The purpose of the maternity and child health services is to promote the health and well-being of the population and to prevent diseases. This also includes the prevention of accidents and infectious diseases, including the implementation of the national immunization programme.

Maternity and child health services are based on statutory health examinations carried out by the clinics' public health nurses and doctors. In addition to the statutory examinations, additional visits can be arranged to look into matters requiring more detailed examination, to assess the need for specialised and multi- professional support, and to monitor the child's health, well-being, growth and development or the situation of the parents and family. Clients can also be referred to other social welfare and health care services.

The entire family is welcome to the maternity and child health service appointments. All maternity and child health services are free of charge.

Pregnancy

The purpose of the maternity and child health services is to promote the health and well-being of the pregnant woman, the foetus and the new-born child, and the entire expecting family. The goal is to support the family's internal relationships, resources, and growth into parenthood.

Babies and children under school age

The purpose of the maternity and child health services is to monitor and promote the healthy growth and development of children under school age and their families, provide support for parenting and relationships, and promote a healthy growth and development environment and lifestyle. Maternity and child health services do not provide treatment for acute or chronic illnesses, as these are treated in outpatient or specialised health care arranged by primary health care services.
