doctors in saariselki

hi just a quick question we are going to saari in december hopefully we wont need it but is there a doctor in the resort. thanks for any help

MedInari has a clinic in Saariselkä in winter time. In summer time the clinic is closed and serves in its Ivalo clinic. It is located in the Holiday Club Saariselkä, Saariseläntie 7.

zam72 is this clinic just open for a few hours a day? What about an emergency call out, where would a Doctor be coming from then?



I ask because we have had 3 excellent holidays in Saari but one of my daughters has developed a medical condition that could need emergency treatment.

During the skiing season the clinic is open 9 - 18. Outside the opening hours of the clinic on-call and emergency services are available in the Inari health care centre, tel. +358 16 687 511 or +358 40 770 9187.

zam72, Thank you for that information, presume that is a 24 hour phone number?




|||



Yes, the telephone number is to a bed ward of the health care centre which is open 24/7. In real life threatening emergencies the general emergency number is 112 from which you can order an ambulance, fire brigade and/or police. 112 is dialled without any prefixes from all phones and is free of charge. 112 can be dialled from a mobile phone even without a SIM card.

Thank you so much for all that useful info, hopefully we would not need it but better to be prepared!
