The Ministry of Social Affairs of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti Sotsiaalministeerium) is a government ministry of Estonia responsible for social policies of the country.[1]
The Ministry was formed on 1 February 1993, when three earlier ministries were merged. These three ministries were Ministry of Health (Estonian: link=no|Tervishoiuministeerium), Ministry of Social Care (Estonian: link=no|Sotsiaalhooldusministeerium) and Ministry of Labor (Estonian: link=no|Tööministeerium).[2]
