Åland Central Hospital

Åland Central Hospital (Ålands centralsjukhus, Ahvenanmaan keskussairaala) is a public hospital in Mariehamn, Åland managed by Ålands hälso- och sjukvård (ÅHS). With 121 beds and around 1,000 employees, it serves as a primary healthcare hub for the autonomous, Swedish-speaking archipelago region of Finland. It operates an emergency department, intensive care unit, maternity ward, and various other departments. The hospital was founded in 1953 and operates under regional legislation that allows it to maintain specialised services despite serving a smaller population than typically required by Finnish healthcare regulations. Åland is also the only location outside of Sweden where Swedish medical graduates can complete their internships. The hospital has faced challenges due to Åland's linguistic and geographic situation, as well as labour disputes and complications from the COVID-19 pandemic.
