MyKanta, which has been in use for more than 10 years, requires technological updates and will be updated to better meet the requirements for modern digital services. Feedback collected from service users plays an important role in updating MyKanta.
The key priorities for the new MyKanta are
- ease of use
- data discoverability
- clear and understandable language
- accessible visual design.
The new MyKanta will also work better with things like screen readers, which improve the service for visually impaired users.
The new and old versions of MyKanta will operate side-by-side during the transition phase
The old version of MyKanta will remain in use alongside the new one until sufficient functionalities are added to the new MyKanta service. The transition to the new MyKanta will be completed in 2025.
You can try out the new MyKanta by logging in to the service at kanta.fi. Once you have logged in to MyKanta, you can select the new version of the service. In the new MyKanta, you can, among other things, view and renew prescriptions.

Updates to the new MyKanta
On this page, we have compiled a list of the updates that we will implement in the new MyKanta.
Updates 2024
You can view client data from social services in the new MyKanta service, from 19.11.2024 onwards. Social services client data will be added to MyKanta in stages from 2023–2026, so not all data will be visible immediately. Social services client data section will be visible to everyone, even if they do not have a client relationship with social welfare services.
From 6.6.2024, you will be able to give your consent to the transfer of a Patient Summary to other European countries in the updated MyKanta service. A Patient Summary is a compilation of your key health information. Professionals in other parts of Europe cannot directly access your patient data; this requires your consent. Your consent will be valid until further notice and can be withdrawn at any time in MyKanta. Read more about sending patient data abroad.
Since the beginning of 2024, health care services have been able to use the data from register research in a new way. In addition to utilisation in research, information gained from research may also be used to prevent health risks to an individual or to improve their treatment. It will be possible to set a denial of consent to being contacted in MyKanta from 6.6.2024 onwards. Find out more about denial of consent to contact based on register research findings.
A front page was published for the new MyKanta on 16 April 2024. The front page contains all of the sections of the new MyKanta. Your other information can be accessed in the old version of MyKanta.
From 27 February 2024, you will be able to modify the prescription view in MyKanta when using a computer. You can select either a table or grid format for the list. It is not possible to change view while using MyKanta on a phone.
As a result of the Client Data Act, new denials of consent to patient data sharing have been introduced in MyKanta. From 2 January 2024, denials of consent can be set in the new version of MyKanta for all patient data and for private occupational health care registers. Other denials of consent can be set in the old version of MyKanta. This arrangement is temporary. In the future, you will be able to manage all of your consents and denials of consent in the new version of MyKanta. Find out more about denials of consent to patient data sharing.
Updates 2023
On 14 December 2023, the possibility to print prescriptions has been added to the Prescriptions section. Prescription information can be printed as a PDF file, either as a summary or as a prescription list.
The new Prescriptions section has been launched as the first part of the MyKanta update. As of 25 October 2023, you will be able to view and renew your prescriptions in the new version of MyKanta. It is not yet possible to act on behalf of another person in the new MyKanta.
