As potatopeelings has mentioned in the comments, you have to set a callback for the tooltip.

Here is an example:

options: {
  tooltips: {
    callbacks: {
      label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
        var datasetLabel = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].label || 'Other';
        var label = data.labels[tooltipItem.index];
        return datasetLabel + ': ' + label;
      }
    }
  }
}

live demo

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");
var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
    type: 'doughnut',
    data: {
        labels: ["Men", "Women", "Unknown"],
        datasets: [{
            label: 'Sweden',
            data: [60, 40, 20],
            backgroundColor: ['rgba(158, 216, 202, 0.75)', 'rgba(255, 150, 162, 0.75)', 'rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.75)']
        }, {
            label: 'Netherlands',
            data: [40, 70, 10],
            backgroundColor: ['rgba(158, 216, 202, 0.5)', 'rgba(255, 150, 162, 0.5)', 'rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.5)']
        }, {
            data: [33, 33, 34],
            backgroundColor: ['rgba(158, 216, 202, 0.25)', 'rgba(255, 150, 162, 0.25)', 'rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.25)']
        }]
    },
    options: {
        tooltips: {
            callbacks: {
                label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
                    var datasetLabel = data.datasets[tooltipItem.datasetIndex].label || 'Other';
                    var label = data.labels[tooltipItem.index];
                    return datasetLabel + ': ' + label;
                }
            }
        }
    }
});

The Chart.js 1.x tooltipsTemplate is equivalent to options.tooltips.callbacks.title in Chart.js 2.x:

var ctx = document.getElementById("myChart");

var myChart = new Chart(ctx, {
  type: 'doughnut',
  data: {
    labels: [
      "Men",
      "Women",
      "Unknown"
    ],
    datasets: [{
      label: 'Sweden',
      data: [60, 40, 20],
      backgroundColor: [
        'rgba(158, 216, 202, 0.75)',
        'rgba(255, 150, 162, 0.75)',
        'rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.75)'
      ]
    }, {
      label: 'Netherlands',
      data: [40, 70, 10],
      backgroundColor: [
        'rgba(158, 216, 202, 0.5)',
        'rgba(255, 150, 162, 0.5)',
        'rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.5)'
      ]
    }, {
      data: [33, 33, 34],
      backgroundColor: [
        'rgba(158, 216, 202, 0.25)',
        'rgba(255, 150, 162, 0.25)',
        'rgba(160, 160, 160, 0.25)'
      ]
    }]
  },
  options: {
    tooltips: {
      callbacks: {
        label: function(tooltipItem, data) {
                return 'This value ' + tooltipItem.yLabel;
        },
        title: function(tooltipItem, data) {
           return 'The tooltip title ' + tooltipItem[0].xLabel;
        }
      }
    }
  }
});

You have to set options for tooltip mode to label for showing multiple tooltip 

options: {
    tooltips: {
        mode : 'label'
    }
}

if you want to hide the label you can simply try this

options = 
  {                       
    tooltips :{          
      titleFontSize : 0,
      titleMarginBottom:-0.5
    }
  }
