Oulu University Hospital

Oulu University Hospital is one of Finland’s five university hospitals and a large publicly operated center for specialized care, research, and clinical education, serving as the central provider for Northern Finland. Its role in the Northern Finland Collaborative Area gives corporate R&D teams access to a broad regional care environment and real-world implementation needs. Located beside the University of Oulu and the Kontinkangas Life Sciences Campus, OYS connects clinical expertise with academic research, health services, and business through the OuluHealth ecosystem; OYS TestLab offers a dedicated setting for testing and piloting healthcare solutions.
