In practical terms, all expectant mothers and newborn babies with their parents are within
the system of antenatal and child health clinics in Finland. The objective of clinic activities
is to safeguard the best possible health for expectant mothers, unborn foetuses, newborn
babies and whole families. Monitoring and ensuring the well-being of mothers and unborn
foetuses, as well as preparing mothers and fathers for childbirth, have traditionally been
among the main functions of antenatal clinics. Child health clinics in turn focus on supporting
and monitoring children’s growth and on providing guidance in the new life situation.
More recently, the work has increasingly emphasised promotion of the psychological
and psychosocial well-being of families. The forms of activity include agreed periodic family
visits to the clinic and, where necessary, meetings at home with the family. The clinic
system is part of the basic municipal social and health care services.
The task of child guidance and family counselling is to support and promote the positive
development of children and families. To this end, local authorities organise guidance,
counselling and provide other expert assistance in issues related to human relationships,
family life and the upbringing of children. The work carried out by child guidance and
family counselling clinics is based on multidisciplinary teamwork, involving physicians,
psychologists and social workers. The system is part of the basic municipal social and
health care services.
The parents of a child under the age of ten are entitled to get four days’ leave from work
when a child falls ill in order to arrange child care. Granting leave requires that both parents
or the only parent be gainfully employed.
