- The Director-General of Health Services has issued Circular No. HK.02.02/D/7928/2023 on Business Licensing for Clinics, which has been in force since 18 June 2023.
- The government has categorized clinics as medium-high risk business sector, which in turn means that business actors are required to secure business licenses in the form of business license numbers (NIB), as well as standard certificates, which can be secured through the online single submission (OSS) system. In this regard, the newly issued circular should now be used as a reference by central/regional governments and other related parties during the processing of clinics’ business licenses.
- Furthermore, during verifications and field verifications of documents prior to the issuance of said licenses, various matters must be appraised, specifically: 1) All clinic buildings must comply with the standard requirements that are set out under Regulation of the Minister of Health No. 14 of 2021 on Business Activity Standards and Products for the Organization of Risk-Based Business Licensing Within the Healthcare Sector and its amendment (e.g. all clinic buildings should be a permanent and should fulfil various requirements that apply to physical buildings); 2) Other healthcare service facilities (i.e. pharmacies, medical laboratories, opticians) can be merged into one clinic building, as long as the relevant standard business requirements are fulfilled; 3) Clinics may organize laboratory services in order to support diagnoses and clinical treatments; 4) Main clinics must employ two specialist doctors, two specialist dentists or one specialist dentist at the least in order to provide specialist medical services.
