In October 2020, the Tallinn Social and Health Care Department, in cooperation with the Tallinn Ambulance and the Tallinn Children's Hospital, launched a home doctor pilot project, the aim of which is to proovide medical care to sick children aged 0–12. In July and August, the project will be suspended and resumed in September.
During the upcoming Victory Day and Midsummer's Day, on June 23 and 24, people with health concerns can turn to the emergency rooms of hospitals; the Tallinn Dental Clinic and emergency pharmacies are open; and guidance is given by the Family Doctor's Advice Line.
At yesterday’s meeting, the Tallinn City Council confirmed Tallinn's participation in three TalTech Smart City Centre of Excellence projects and agreed to their bridge financing. Participation in the projects contributes to the achievement of Tallinn's climate goals, the development of Tallinn as a smart city and the pursuit to become European green capital.
On weekends, parents in Tallinn can invite a home doctor’s team for a child up to 12 years of age with acute symptoms - for example, if the parent has not been able to get an appointment to the family doctor or the child has fallen ill on a day off.
