West Tallinn Central Hospital

Our Story: Consistent Growth and Strong Development

AS Lääne-Tallinna Keskhaigla is a company owned by the City of Tallinn, with roots that go back several decades. The hospital was officially established in 2001, although the origins of the institution date back much earlier.

Today, West Tallinn Central Hospital has developed into a reliable and versatile healthcare provider. Our main areas of activity include the provision of outpatient, inpatient and day-care specialist services. Our largest contractual partner is the Estonian Health Insurance Fund, but we also provide services through paid healthcare, training activities and the rental of premises.

The hospital’s development has been consistent and purposeful. Over the years, we have expanded both our services and our infrastructure in order to provide patients with modern, high-quality care. We continuously invest in the development of our departments to ensure a safe, comfortable and supportive environment for healing.
