I’ve been studying in Finland for about a year and haven’t had to deal with any medical issues but wanted to get more familiar with it

From my understanding if I have a non emergency I can contact my health center using omaolo and set up an appointment from there.

I’m from a non EU country so my health insurance will pay for most of the medical expenses as long as I pay the Kela health care fee.

Is all of this correct?

I was also wondering if it’s the same for dental issues

I also wanted to ask if there’s a way I can get an appointment for a general check up. I have a bunch of minor issues that I want to get checked but from what I’ve heard, that’s not really a thing here.

    As far as I know, yes. But I’m a native in here and thus I haven’t had any reason to really look things up and there’s been a ton of changes in healthcare system in last few years (across the board, not just for students or foreginers). So, what I’d recommend is to contact student care on your institution and verify how things are today with them.
