Social security customer fees

Initially, the topic will be social and healthcare customer fees.

There are large regional differences in customer fee discounts, according to a study by the Finnish Social Insurance Organization (Soste).

Place of residence affects whether social security customer fee relief is possible if necessary.

For example, you can apply for a discount on a health center’s doctor’s fee in 9 welfare regions. However, the discount is not possible in 12 regions and Helsinki.

A discount may be necessary if the customer’s financial situation is very poor.

Nepal flood

Then the news of a natural disaster.

A major rescue operation is underway in Nepal.

A major flood and mudslide swept across a large area on the Nepal-Tibet border yesterday.

At least 180 people have died. Hundreds are under house arrest.

Many of the missing are foreigners. There are popular hiking trails in the disaster area.

A major rescue operation is underway in Nepal due to flooding and mudslides.

The flood was perhaps caused by the collapse of a glacier in the Himalayan mountains.

Brain health

Finally, news about brain technology.

The University of Oulu has developed a device that provides information about brain health.

The device has been in development for 15 years. Here it is presented by Professor Teemu Myllylä.

The device can detect symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease at an early stage. The device measures the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid.

A device developed in Oulu can predict brain health.

The device is being tested in various parts of the world. Researchers hope it will become a health assistant similar to a blood pressure monitor or smartwatch.

Friday weather

Still a weather forecast.

It won’t rain much tomorrow. The sun will be visible in the middle of Finland.

The temperature in the south is 20 degrees. It’s a little cooler in the north.
