The birth rate has continued to decline in South Karelia in Finland. In 2023 there were approximately 700 births at the central hospital of South Karelia Welfare County. The number of children born is lower than in 2022 which was 766 births. In South Karelia, the number of births has been decreasing since 2010. Already the welfare area takes care of births with an exception because South Karelia does not exceed the required number of births per year set by the Government.
Public care organizations from each country are mandatory.
