Child health clinic services

The task of the child health clinic is to promote the health and well-being of children under school age (0-6 years of age) and their families and to reduce health-related inequalities between the families. 

The child health clinic monitors and promotes the child’s physical, mental and social growth and development. We support parenthood in issues such as safe, child-centred upbringing and good care of the child as well as in caring for the couple’s relationship. 

At the child health clinic, we aim to identify the needs for special support for families with children as early as possible and to arrange appropriate support and assistance. 

The child receives the vaccinations included in the national vaccination programme at the child health clinic. 

The child health clinic service is part of the family centre service and it is arranged as a local service.
