Trip to Raauma and interesting meetings

Yesterday part of the MINE group went to Raauma. Wandering around town, me and other of us found a little shop of organic food and other biological finnish products. Connected to the store there was a very nice café and (surprise!) the barman was an Italian man from Udine (in the north of our country) married with a finnish woman. They've got two daughters, the first one was born in Italy and the second one in Finland, and they've lived permanently in Raauma since two years. We told him that we were nursing students and we had visited the hospital and the ER of Pori. Finnish health system, we said, seemed to us very efficient.
Concerning his experience they told us that the health reality is not always so happy.
Public administration decided to centralize the most important health care services in Pori, leaving population of Raauma and other isolated cities around without a good healthy assistance. This, he said, brings to the farmilies some difficulties because they don't have an approperly  pediatrician assistance and for the treatment of some of the most severe pathologies they have to drive a lot.
Moving away  health care basic services from little and isolated communities it's a way, he said, to urge people to address to the private health assistance and this is a very big  injustice in this country because its inhabitants pay a lot of taxes.
We were very surprise from his words : Pori wards seemed to us so well organized, efficient, almost perfect. But "perfection" doesn't exist anywhere.

In Italy there's a byword, "Non è tutto ora quello che luccica", trad.: "Not all the shining things are made of gold".
