Findata was established following enforcement of the Act on the Secondary Use of Health and Social Data. We have been operational since 2019, making us one of the first health data permit authorities in the European Union.
With the European Health Data Space (EHDS) on the horizon, now is the time to use our unique hands-on experience to further develop our services and make them even more user-friendly and secure for efficient secondary use.
To enable Finland’s smooth participation in the upcoming EHDS, we are launching FinHITS – a four-year project co-funded by the European Union that aims to strengthen Finnish health data ICT for secondary use.

FinHITS will focus on:

Through FinHITS, we are strengthening the Finnish data infrastructure to ensure efficient and secure secondary use of health data. As a result, Finland is ready to integrate seamlessly into the EHDS.
