Patient ombudsperson

As of 1 January 2024, patient ombudsperson activities with private service providers will be discontinued and transferred to the wellbeing services counties. At the same time, the title of Patient Ombudsman will change to Patient Ombudsperson.

After the change, you will be able to contact the patient ombudsperson of the wellbeing services county. You can find the contact details on the website of the wellbeing services county in which the clinic is located. You can also check the contact details of your municipality’s patient ombudsperson in the Suomi.fi service.

If you have any concerns about your appointment or are dissatisfied with your treatment, you should primarily discuss the matter with the director of the clinic that provided your treatment. Many issues can be resolved and corrected through discussion.

You can also send us feedback by e-mail to info@synlab.fi. Please do not send any sensitive information (such as your personal identity code) by e-mail.
