Health check-ups for the unemployed

If you become unemployed, you are eligible for a free-of-charge health check-up for the unemployed with a public health nurse. The objective of the health check-up is to promote your health and well-being as well as your working and functional ability during your unemployment. The health check-up will provide you with a comprehensive picture of your overall health.

basic health examinations based on laboratory tests and various indicators
the updating of information on your vaccinations
a survey of your health habits and lifestyle
guidance on making daily choices that promote your overall health
if necessary, referrals to additional examinations and other support services relevant to your life situation.
