Today, accessibility for a medical facility or pharmacy is no longer about the owner's "goodwill" or the mere presence of a ramp. It is a strict licensing requirement, non-compliance with which can lead to the suspension of a clinic or pharmacy's operations, revocation of licenses, or denial of state funding.
With the entry into force of the updated state building codes (specifically DBN V.2.2-40:2018), approaches to evaluating inclusivity have changed radically. While regulatory bodies could previously "turn a blind eye" to the absence of tactile paving or narrow bathroom doorways, today accessibility is a mandatory condition for:
-
Obtaining a medical license and making amendments to it.
-
Obtaining a license for the retail trade of medicinal products.
-
Concluding contracts with the NHSU (National Health Service of Ukraine).
-
Undergoing accreditation.

A medical license alone is not enough to launch opioid agonist therapy in a private clinic. The clinic must coordinate controlled-drug licensing, premises, police approval, medication records, eHealth, and NHSU requirements where applicable.
School psychologists, speech therapists, rehabilitation specialists, and massage therapists do not always require medical licensing. The key issue is whether their actual work is educational or corrective, or amounts to medical care or rehabilitation.
For companies with hazardous working conditions, employee medical examinations form part of occupational health management. An in-house occupational health office requires suitable premises, equipment, qualified staff, and medical licensing.
Adding a new medical specialty does not always require another accessibility assessment, while a new location usually does. The key questions are which premises the existing report covers and whether the property has changed.
