This Tampere hospital specialises in hip and knee replacements, and according to its website it is the only one in Finland devoted to joint replacement surgery. Located on the Tays campus, it is a publicly owned company within the Pirkanmaa wellbeing services county and performs more than 9,000 joint replacements a year.
Patients from anywhere in Finland can be referred by a licensed doctor or through the evening clinic, and treatment costs them the same as it would locally. Video consultations, remote outpatient clinics and a non-surgical treatment pathway are also offered, and the clinic's app has material for preparing and recovering. Parking is free, and the entrance is step-free.
