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.
Based on the application, the city of Tallinn will pay its residents a benefit of 30 euros for the first day of illness in order to encourage people to take a sick leave already at the first symptoms of falling ill.
