About Clinic Helena – Private Breast Cancer Clinic<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Clinic Helena is a private breast cancer clinic and one of the leading private clinics for women\u2019s health in Finland. Clinic Helena was founded in 1999 to offer head doctor Helena Puonti\u2019s unique expertise in breast reconstruction to a wider audience in Finland. Helena Puonti’s special expertise is a microneurovascular muscle-sparing TRAM reconstruction.  In 2010 we started to offer our expertise also to foreign patients who seek health care services abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we started co-operating with the St. Petersburg metropolitan area. Our reputation as a reliable health care provider in breast cancer treatment spread quickly all over Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nowadays, almost half of the clinic\u2019s patients seeking help come from abroad. Most searched-for treatments are breast cancer treatment<\/a> or breast reconstructions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We started marketing our services in China in September 2018. Currently, we offer them globally for all the patients who need the best possible care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clinic Helena is part of the health tourism network of Business Finland<\/a>. Through the cooperation network, we receive visitors who seek the best available care in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a small and very professional private clinic. We try to organise native tongue services for all our patients. Our staff speaks English, Russian, Swedish, Finnish and Italian and we also have Chinese nurse available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
