Case: Legalization of a cosmetology salon and obtaining a medical license in Uzhhorod in 14 days
A client — a practicing cosmetologist from the city of Uzhhorod (Zakarpattia region) — approached our company. She opened her own modern cosmetology salon and planned to expand the range of services, providing professional assistance as a certified dermatovenereologist.
Since the provision of such services in Ukraine is strictly regulated by law and requires a Ministry of Health license for medical practice, the client was faced with the task of going through a complex licensing procedure without disrupting her business processes.
Main challenge: To prepare the package of documents and obtain approval from the Ministry of Health as quickly as possible in order to avoid business downtime and penalties for operating without permit documents.
Project Baseline Data
- Location: Uzhhorod, Zakarpattia region.
- Subject: Dermatovenereologist.
- Declared medical specialty: Dermatovenereology.
- Implementation period: 2 weeks (14 calendar days).
Medical law requires flawless accuracy. Any error in the application or in the details of the material and technical base is guaranteed to lead to a rejection by the Ministry of Health. Our lawyers promptly joined the process and provided full turnkey support:
- Legal and personnel audit: verified the compliance of diplomas, specialist doctor certificates, and advanced training documents with licensing requirements.
- Analysis of the material and technical base: checked the office and equipment of the cosmetology salon for compliance with current sanitary and hygienic norms and DBN standards for the work of a dermatovenereologist.
- Preparation and submission of documents: compiled a comprehensive package of information on the condition of equipment, personnel, and regulatory compliance, after which the documents were promptly submitted to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine.
