What is Health Village?

Health Village is a public online service produced by social and health care professionals, bringing social and healthcare services within everyone's reach.

Health Village’s services are particularly well suited for monitoring quality of life, symptoms and lifestyle, and also for supporting those living with a long-term illness. The services complement traditional medical care. As a result, the significance of preventive care increases and people are better able to maintain their own health.

Health Village is always open, and it can be accessed from anywhere as long as you have Internet access and a computer, tablet or smartphone.

Health Village has three sections:

  • Health Village's hubs that are open for all
  • Digital service channel My Path
  • HealthVillagePRO service portal for professionals
