Ministry of Social Affairs and Health closes its website in Russian
The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has closed down its Russian-language website at stm.fi. Information on healthcare and social welfare will be available in Russian on the InfoFinland.fi website.
The Ministry has monitored the use of its Russian-language website for a long time, and the number of people visiting the website has been low. The decision to close down the website supports the allocation of resources to more effective communication channels.
The InfoFinland.fi website is intended for people moving to Finland or considering immigrating to Finland. The website provides a wide range of information on issues such as healthcare and social welfare. The website is maintained by the City of Helsinki, and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health is one of the providers of funding for InfoFinland.
