Rovaniemi. Such was the situation when the
reconstruction work was to start. Some years later, at the time
of our visit, the reconstruction of the regional

achievements, heroic expressions of an indomitable will to
live. It was with the greatest satisfaction that we
agreed with the Finnish health authorities that
Sweden should try to give economic help to enable the
construction of a small hospital in Outakoski, a place
far to the north, close to the Finnish-Norwegian
frontier. Thanks to the contributions from the
Swedish European Relief Society, this plan was realized.
