I am a senior researcher at Kela’s Research Unit, and I am conducting register-based research particularly on medicines and the pharmaceutical sector from a societal perspective. I am responsible for the research related to the Kanta services. I also support other researchers in the use of data from the Kanta services’ Prescription Centre.
