According to the second part of Article 15 of the Law of Ukraine "On Licensing of Types of Economic Activities", the licensee (a person holding a license) is obliged to notify the licensing authority of any changes to the data that were specified in the application, documents and information attached to the application for obtaining a license. This notification must be made within the term established by the license terms.
This requirement is aimed at ensuring the relevance and reliability of information about licensed licensees and ensuring compliance of their activities with the conditions established in the license. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in a violation of license conditions and may result in legal consequences, including administrative fines or license revocation.
To submit a notice of changes, you must follow the established procedures and requirements. Here are the general steps you can expect when submitting a medical license change notice in Ukraine:
Preparation of documents: The licensee must prepare all the necessary documentation that confirms the changes that have taken place. This may include, for example, copies of certificates, diplomas, documents about changing the place of work or contact information, etc.
Filling out the notification form: The licensee must fill out a special form or make a statement in which all necessary changes will be indicated.
Submitting a notice to the licensing authority: After preparing the documents and filling out the form, the licensee submits a notice of changes to the relevant licensing authority. This can be done by visiting the office in person, sending documents by post or email.
Consideration of the notice: Once the notice is submitted, the licensing authority will review it and make a decision on changes to the medical license.
The licensee, who conducts business activities for medical practice, is obliged to provide conditions for free access of persons with limited physical capabilities to the premises.
A private health care facility should have a building that is adapted for people with reduced mobility. This may include such important elements as the availability of ramps, wide doors, special wash basins and toilets suitable for use by persons with various types of physical mobility limitations.
Legislation may have relevant requirements for the adaptation of buildings for access by groups of people with reduced mobility, and there are standards and regulations in the construction industry that determine what conditions must be in accordance with accessibility requirements.
Usually, this applies to all health care institutions, regardless of their form of ownership. The main goal is to ensure equal access to health services for all people, including those with limited mobility.
According to the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated 12/27/2023 No. 1393, the details of the document confirming the accessibility of the premises for persons with physical disabilities must be entered in the Information of the licensee from March 30, 2024. This document will be issued by a specialist in technical inspection of buildings and structures who has a qualification certificate, or by an institution authorized to conduct such an inspection. Licensees who do not yet have this document must obtain it by December 30, 2024.
It is important to comply with these requirements, as they are part of the licensing conditions and are aimed at ensuring the availability of health services for all population groups, including persons with disabilities.
If you have specific questions about the requirements for your particular health care facility, I recommend that you refer to the relevant legal regulations and consult with construction or health care professionals.
A qualified lawyer will help in this matter and other business services.
