Reviews of our Clients
…we can confidently recommend the lawyers of Law firm «Pravova dopomoga» as reliable legal partners on the matters of medical practice licensing and other procedures related to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
... Having used the services of the Law Firm "Pravova dopomoga", we managed to solve our problems, as well as found a qualified and reliable partner.
n theory, launching a private family medicine practice seems perfectly feasible: secure suitable premises, obtain a license from the Ministry of Health (MoH), sign a contract with the National Health Service of Ukraine (NHSU), and start working for yourself. In reality, however, most physicians and investors face significant hurdles at the very beginning. Statistics indicate that over 70% of applicants receive either a formal rejection or have their documents returned by the Ministry for revision.
Why does this happen? The primary reason lies in a fundamental misalignment of perspectives. A physician views the future office as a space for delivering medical care. The MoH, conversely, evaluates it during the medical licensing process strictly as a real estate asset tied to a rigid checklist of technical specifications.

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.
