Estonia’s healthcare system is the Health Insurance System, described as “solidarity-based health insurance”(1), and the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (EHIF) is the public law organization responsible for providing the organization of national healthcare services in accordance with the Health Insurance Act, the Health Services Organization Act, and other legislation.
[[hasCancerCenter::Tartu University Hospital]]


The body responsible for healthcare and all social policies in Estonia is the Ministry of Social Affairs. The Health Board is its child agency. Estonia’s [https://www.riigiteataja.ee/en/eli/514112013001/consolide Public Information Act] details the terms of compliance to request information not already publicly available. The request is exempt from covering expenses if the request is made for research work.
