Chat and omatiimit continue as usual

There will be no changes to Omatiimi’s telephone service and health service chat service, meaning that the familiar contact channels will remain in use.

• The illness or health concerns chat service on OmaKeusotessa is open on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
• Omatiim's telephone service is available on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. for non-urgent matters and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for urgent matters.

The goal is to provide uninterrupted and equal services

In the Keusote cooperation negotiations that ended in the summer of 2025, the number of nurses and nursing assistants in open reception services was reduced. Since then, the reception services of small offices have been more vulnerable than those of larger offices. This has been particularly evident during periods of sudden absences.

The changes are intended to reduce the vulnerability of small offices and strengthen the equality of services. The teams at small offices will be integrated into the multi-professional teams at social and health centres. This will reduce the impact of absences on service availability and ensure equal access to multi-professional rehabilitation, mental health and substance abuse services, regardless of where in the Keusote area the customer lives.
