Meilahti Tower Hospital, Regional hospital in Meilahti, Finland.
Meilahti Tower Hospital is a 15-floor building in the Meilahti district of Helsinki, part of the Helsinki University Central Hospital complex. It houses specialized medical departments and serves patients who need advanced treatment.
The building was completed in 1965, designed by architects Jaakko Paatela and Reino Koivula, and brought a new approach to hospital design in Finland. It was among the first high-rise hospital buildings in the country.
The hospital functions as an educational institution connected to the University of Helsinki, training future medical professionals while delivering patient care.
The hospital is in the Meilahti district and is easy to reach by public transport. Because it is an active medical facility, access to most areas is limited to patients and people with appointments.
The building is protected by Helsinki's city plan as an example of 1960s modern architecture, which means its exterior cannot be altered. It also has a rooftop helipad used for emergency transport.
