The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) is an independent state-owned expert and research institute that promotes the welfare, health and safety of the population.

THL’s duties are established in the Finnish legislation. Our key duty is to carry out research and expert work to

In addition:

  • We serve as a statistical authority and maintain statistics and registers in our field.
  • We provide social and health care services and forensic medicine services for which the state is responsible.
  • We steer the national information management in social welfare and health care services, including the development of systems aimed at processing the health and welfare data of the Finnish citizens.

We operate in the administrative branch of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health

In terms of administration, THL operates under the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The Director General of THL is Doctor of Medical Science Markku Tervahauta.

We produce information and solutions for stakeholders

We provide our stakeholders with information and solutions to build a more equal, equitable and sustainable society.

We serve a wide range of different operators, including

We foster cooperation between different operators and good practices in the promotion of health and well-being.
