Finnish well-being region cuts occupational health services; firms shift to chat care

Oma Häme, a Finnish well-being services county, will reduce occupational health care for its ~6,500 employees to only legally mandated services. Private providers Terveystalo and Mehiläinen report companies are cutting services, with some opting for chat-based care while sauna benefits remain without a doctor. This reflects cost-cutting in Finnish public health and a shift in employer-provided care.
