No one should feel like they are being treated badly or be offended in any way. All our members are equally important and meaningful and everybody should be treated accordingly. We strive to be a student union where everyone feels welcome.

Student health service

When you have paid your student union fee you have the right to use the student health service. This means that you can visit any of their healthcare stations and get free or cheap healthcare. For you who studies at Hanken in Helsinki, your nearest healthcare stations are at Tölögatan 37 A in Helsinki or at Otnässvängen 12 in Espoo.

FSHS provides general, oral and mental health services for students. You can book an appointment by calling the healthcare station, please find out more about the numbers here: http://www.yths.fi/en/contact_details/units/helsinki

FSHS also provides the Self service where you can check, book (if you have gotten permission to do so by a doctor) or rebook your appointments. It is recommended that you start using the Self service as soon as you have paid your student union fee. FSHS also has access to OmaKanta where all of your earlier medical history is saved (if you have an Finnish ID number) to make sure you get the best possible treatment.
