Process of getting a pharmacy license
Procedure of getting a drugstore license – Getting a license copy – Reissue of a drugstore licenseProcedure of getting a drugstore license is regulated by the Law of Ukraine “On licensing some types of activities” and by the Licensing regulations. These acts define which types of activity must be licensed, requirements for premises and personnel of a drugstore, and also procedure of getting a license for opening drugstore.
General information about a drugstore license
A drugstore license gives a right to retail medicines in some required premises. Outgoing retail and internet-retails are out of law. For getting a license you must have required rented or your own non-residential premises (drugstore, pharmacy point, pharmacy storage) where retail will be held.A pharmacy point is a chapter of drugstore. That’s why you won’t have a right to sell medicines there if you hadn’t got a drugstore license. It is forbidden to transfer a license to other company by law. Such transfer is reason for license revocation. Validity term of license for wholesale or retail of medicines is unlimited.
Requirements for drugstore’s licensing
There are two main groups of requirements – requirements for premises and requirements for personnel. Main requirements for premises are:- structures of all drugstore’s premises (trading room, storage, additional premises). The minimal square depends on location of drugstore – if drugstore is located in city then its size must be not less than 50 square meters; if drugstore is located in village then its size must be not less than 30 square meters;
- drugstore’s equipment. There must be protective glass shield against airborne diseases, strongbox, cupboards, racks, thermometer, hygrometer etc;
- observance of sanitary and hygienic rules. There must be sewerage, heating, opportunity for everyday wet cleaning;
- conditions for people with disabilities to get into a drugstore. In the most cases there are ramps;
- requirements for keeping medicaments. Minimal size of storage must be not less than 10 square meters (for cities) and not less than 6 square meters (for villages). It is forbidden to keep other goods with medicaments.
Premises must be isolated on the first floor and have separated entrance. But there are exceptions. If drugstore is located in medical institutions then it can hasn’t separated entrance and be on every floor.
Requirements for personnel are different for city and for village drugstores. For example, authorized person who examines medicaments’ quality in city drugstore must have higher pharmaceutical education. At the same time this person must have a certificate of pharmacist or must have pharmacist qualification. He also must work in this sphere not less than two years.
At the same time specialist who doesn’t have this experience can work in a village drugstore.
We need to admit that procedure on issuance licenses in this sphere is variable and company examines your documents every time before submitting them to state bodies.
Registration and application for pharmacy license process
A drugstore license is issued by State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control which is located in Kyiv.The main required documents for getting a license are an application form, document with information about material base and a power of attorney.
Documents are examined during 10 working days. There are also 1-2 days for publication results on the state body’s website. Paper license hadn’t been issued since 2017.
In spite of a simple list of required documents for wholesale or retail of medicines, a lot of drugstores can’t fill it correctly. So you have to submit documents a few times and wait for decisions nearly 2 weeks. This brings your company to losses and stopping activity of a drugstore. Our company can prevent it and here you can read about our services’ price.
There is an outgoing examination after submitting documents. As a rule, it is held by local charters of State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control. By the time of examination your premises had to be prepared, reconstruction must be finished and there must be required equipment. There is also must work a pharmacist. If you are an individual then you must sign labour agreement with him and register it in centers of employment.
The target of examination is checking conformity of real premises to submitted documents. Act is formed after the examination.
A drugstore license can be issued only after full preparing of premises. That’s why licensees won’t have to reconstruct something or buy additional equipment when they got licenses.
If there are no any remarks for your premises then you will get a license in 10 days. An official license fee is paid to state budget according to drugstore’s situation via local treasuries.
Getting a copy of drugstore license
There is no state body’s obligation to issue a copy of license according to the law.If there is an additional point which must be registered then you submit an application on inclusion to the Register of additional information. This procedure doesn’t differ from the previous one.
Premises and personnel are examined by local state bodies during outgoing examination.
Reissue of a drugstore license
A pharmaceutical license is reissued only if information, which was putted to documents, is changed. For example, if legal address or company’s name are changed. The change of drugstore’s location is not the reason for license’s reissue. You must submit just an application on inclusion to the Register of additional information.This procedure is the same or even simplified than getting a new license. It depends on changes which were happened. Required documents which confirm changes are submitted to State Service of Ukraine on Medicines and Drugs Control.
You must submit these documents during a month from the moment when changes were happened or a license will be revoked. If it happened to you then call on to our lawyers.
