During the years 1939-1945 Finland was involved in the Second World War, divided for her part into three different wars: The Winter War, The Continuation War and The Lappish War. Finland was not occupied and she was spared wholesale bombing. The country suffered most of her casualties through the battles at the front, the majority being men born in 1886-1926. Some 700,000 men and women took part in her defence and almost half of them were wounded or killed. Finland was compelled to build up her health and medical services from scratch for the rehabilitation and care of those wounded in War. During the 1980's the geriatric problems of the war cripples have increased and many new patients are now complaining about their war wounds for the first time. The medical care of war cripples in Finland will cover 70 years; thus 20 years work remains.
在1939年至1945年期间，芬兰卷入了第二次世界大战，其经历了三场不同的战争：冬季战争、继续战争和拉普兰战争。芬兰未被占领，也免遭大规模轰炸。该国大部分伤亡人员来自前线战斗，其中大多数是1886年至1926年出生的男性。约70万男女参与了芬兰的防御，其中近一半人伤亡。芬兰不得不白手起家建立起卫生和医疗服务体系，以康复和照料战争中的伤员。在20世纪80年代，战争致残者的老年问题增多，许多新患者首次抱怨他们的战争创伤。芬兰对战时伤残人员的医疗护理将持续70年；因此，还有20年的工作要做。
