Acute reception

In urgent matters, you can visit all the health clinics receptions without calling in advance or having an appointment. Take a waiting number from the hall and you will be called to the nurse. The doctor will join the reception if necessary. You may also contact the health clinic staff in Oulu Self care Omahoito.

Sometimes we cannot give any more waiting numbers in the afternoon hours because of so many visitors. After that only patients with immediate need of treatment will be treated that day.
