Documents for Licensing a Medical Office in a School
How to Organize Medical Care at a School
One of the legal requirements for educational institutions is the obligation to ensure the provision of medical care to students. In particular, the institution must ensure:
- provision of emergency medical care to students;
- mandatory periodic medical examinations of students;
- reporting to state authorities on the presence of infectious diseases;
- control over the quality of food products, the conditions of their preparation and storage, and student nutrition in general;
- formation of hygiene knowledge, skills, and habits among students with the involvement of medical workers.
Under the rules for licensing medical practice, an educational institution has several options for organizing such care:
- Creating a medical office at the school. For this purpose, the educational institution must hire a pediatrician or nurse who will provide such services independently.
- Creating a healthcare institution within the school. This method of organization is necessary for specialized educational institutions that provide secondary medical care, such as therapeutic massage, various physiotherapy procedures, dental services, physical rehabilitation, and medical rehabilitation. More details are available in the related material.
- Engaging contractors, such as a private practicing doctor or a state or municipal healthcare institution, to provide regular medical care on a contractual basis.
It is worth mentioning that for a long time, the most popular ways to organize medical care were opening a medical office or concluding an agreement with a district clinic, whether children’s or adult, for the medical care of students. This was due to the absence, in subordinate regulations, of the right of an institution to conclude a medical care agreement with a private healthcare provider.
However, since 2021, the right of an educational institution to conclude an agreement with a private medical care provider has been officially established in the updated sanitary regulations. This method of organizing medical care may be beneficial, since care will be provided by a professional institution that can ensure a higher quality of medical assistance than an individual doctor or nurse. It may also reduce payroll costs, since engaging a specialist from outside for a limited period is usually cheaper than keeping an employee on staff.
On the other hand, for most schools and lyceums, obtaining their own license for a medical office is the optimal option. These are one-time expenses that allow the institution to remain autonomous and officially conduct vaccinations, provided that the staff has the appropriate training.
Please note! Providing medical services without a license in 2026 creates a direct risk of a fine from UAH 17,000 to UAH 34,000 (Article 164 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offenses), with confiscation of equipment and possible suspension of the institution’s activity due to violation of licensing conditions in the field of education.
Our company already has extensive experience in licensing medical practice and can help officially organize medical care in any format, either by obtaining a medical license for the educational institution or by legally formalizing relations with a contractor.

How Much Is the Fee for Issuing a Medical License for a School?
After the Ministry of Health publishes the order on the successful licensing of a medical office in a school, an official state fee must be paid for the issued license. The fee equals one subsistence minimum for able bodied persons. Although the cost increase over time will not be significant, the sooner the license is obtained, the cheaper the procedure will be.
Once you receive the license, your medical office will be able to:
- officially employ pediatricians, nurses, and paramedics;
- carry out the necessary manipulations and procedures;
- administer scheduled vaccinations to students directly at the institution.

Answers to frequently asked questions
Are municipal educational institutions exempt from paying the official license fee?
No, educational institutions pay for the license on general grounds. At the same time, in some regions, official payments may be financed from local budgets through Departments of Education. It is also common for license related costs to be covered by parent committees, charitable foundations, or private sponsors.
Does the license allow vaccinations to be carried out in schools?
Yes, the license may cover such medical services as vaccination or immunization. At the same time, the license alone is not sufficient. The medical worker must complete professional development specifically in vaccination methods.
Which institutions must obtain a license?
Medical offices are currently licensed in schools, gymnasiums, lyceums, educational complexes, kindergartens, boarding schools, and other educational institutions.
Is the license issued in paper form?
As a general rule, licenses are issued only in electronic form, by publishing information about the educational institution on the website of the Ministry of Health. However, we can help you obtain an extract from the Ministry of Health Licensing Register by submitting an official request.
