Initial contact with care

The primary care system is our citizens’ first resource. It includes healthcare centers, district nurses’ clinics, maternity and pediatric care clinics, youth clinics and outpatient psychiatric services.

If you should fall ill, the first place to turn is to a healthcare center or private clinic. The healthcare centers are staffed by professionals such as district physicians, district nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. They treat a range of illnesses, and they also provide health counseling, post-hospital care and help with rehabilitation.

Health – everyone’s responsibility
We can avoid many illnesses and injuries by taking better care of ourselves and our bodies. Promoting health and preventing illness number among the County Council’s most important missions. These health efforts have a particular focus on areas such as exercise and mental health, alcohol, tobacco, allergies and diet.
