Pediatric Emergency Department

In connection with the Hyvinkää Emergency Department, there is a separate emergency service for children.

Gynecological and Obstetric Emergency Clinic

The Gynecological and Obstetric Emergency Clinic at Hyvinkää Hospital operates as a separate unit in the gynecological unit on the hospital's 2nd floor.

At the emergency department, we always assess the need and urgency of treatment first. Based on this, you will be referred to a nurse or physician. Patients are treated in the order of urgency, not in the order of arrival. Because of this, a patient who has arrived after you may be admitted for treatment before you.
