The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) operates as an independent expert agency under Finland's Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. It conducts research, surveillance, and development work aimed at promoting the well-being and health of the Finnish population, producing information grounded in studies and statistics and offering expertise to inform decision-making for a wide range of stakeholders. Its work is designed to support government, regional and local decision-makers, social welfare and health sector actors, organizations, researchers, and the public, with the objective of maintaining a fair and dynamic welfare system. THL's focus spans sustainability of the welfare state, reducing inequality and social exclusion, shifts in disease patterns, preparation for health threats, and the transition of health and social care services. 

It is based in Helsinki, in the Uusimaa region of Finland, and presents itself as a research services organization serving public authorities and the broader field of health and welfare. In April 2026, THL Biobank announced a partnership with OneClinic Ltd, reflecting ongoing collaboration in material and pharmaceutical logistics across wellbeing service counties and THL.
