THL invites 64,000 adults to participate in the Healthy Finland Survey

This autumn, THL is studying the well-being of adults living in Finland and their experiences of health and social services. The study collects data from 21 wellbeing services counties, Helsinki and Åland. Wellbeing services counties can utilise the results in planning and developing their operations. To ensure the reliability of the results, it is important that everyone who receives the invitation responds to the survey.

THL commits itself to Government’s campaign against racism – racism can be eradicated only through concrete actions

In addition to participating in the campaign against racism, The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) supports work communities in learning new, anti-racist working methods.
