The extended contract reaffirms Fujitsu’s commitment to delivering comprehensive IT services to Terveystalo spanning end users, applications, data center services and the cloud, as well as implementing innovative digital health solutions.
Terveystalo provides a range of healthcare services across Finland through a network of 18 hospitals and 180 clinics, serving private individuals, companies and communities, as well as the public sector.
