While health should be looked after all year round, summer is a particularly good time to develop healthy habits. More outdoor activities, an abundant choice of fresh food and a relaxed state of being provided by the holiday will make it easier for you to give up harmful habits.

Women of any age, who are inadvertently leaking urine, are welcome to make an appointment. There are a number of reasons for urinary incontinence, and during the midwife appointment the type of incontinence will be determined. Treatment for urinary incontinence depends on the type of incontinence involved and may involve the use of medicinal products or surgery. According to the type and severity of urinary incontinence, the midwife will refer the patient to the appropriate specialist. There is no need for a referral or to pay a visit fee when contacting a midwife. 

Today, 17 June, marks 14 years since the establishment of the East Tallinn Central Hospital breast milk donor bank and the start of breast milk donation in Estonia.

The workload of doctors has increased and waiting times are longer. Healthcare workers are therefore urging people to be aware of their limits when doing sports and always use safety equipment.
