Parnu Haigla

What Parnu Haigla does

Pärnu Haigla (legal name SA Pärnu Haigla) is a non-profit foundation (Sihtasutus) operating as the central clinical hospital for Pärnu county and parts of Lääne, Saare, and Hiiumaa counties in western Estonia. Founded in 2000, with the main facility at Ristiku 1 operational since 2005, the hospital is the largest employer in Pärnu county with over 1,300 staff. It operates 429 licensed inpatient beds across four buildings in Pärnu, treating more than 15,000 inpatients annually and conducting approximately 238,000 outpatient visits per year across 31+ medical specializations.

The hospital's service portfolio covers the full secondary-care continuum: a 24/7 emergency department, outpatient specialist clinics, inpatient care across Surgery, Internal Medicine, Women's and Children's, and Psychiatric clinics, plus a Rehabilitation and Well-Being Centre, Blood Centre, Diagnostic Service (laboratory, pathology, radiology including CT, MRI, mammography, and ultrasound), and an in-house pharmacy. Specialized nurse-led clinics address chronic disease management (heart failure, anticoagulation, diabetes, rheumatology, stoma care, smoking cessation, sleep disorders). Technology is general-purpose clinical infrastructure rather than proprietary systems, with digital patient self-registration through the national digilugu.ee portal.

Revenue is generated predominantly through publicly funded healthcare delivery via the Estonian Health Insurance Fund (Tervisekassa) and government budget allocations, supplemented by regulated patient co-payments of 20 EUR per outpatient specialist visit and 5 EUR per inpatient day (capped at 10 days). The organization holds four operating licenses covering specialized medical care, nursing care, ambulance services, and rehabilitation services from the Social Insurance Board.
