Apply for a licence for a private hospital, maternity hospital or private mental hospital

As an entrepreneur who wants to run a private hospital, maternity hospital or private mental hospital, you need a license. In order to obtain the licence for your private clinic, you must meet personal, structural and operational-organisational requirements.

The licence will not be granted to you in the following cases:

• If there are facts that suggest your unreliability for the management or administration of an institution or clinic.
• If there are facts that you cannot guarantee the medical or nursing care of patients.
• If the descriptions and plans of structural and other technical facilities submitted by you do not meet the sanitary requirements.
• If the institution or clinic is to be accommodated only in a part of a building also inhabited by other persons and its operation may result in considerable disadvantages or dangers for the people living in the building.
• If the institution or clinic is intended to receive persons with contagious diseases or persons with mental disorders and the local location may result in significant disadvantages or dangers for persons in the neighbourhood.

For the last two points, the local police and municipal authorities must be consulted.
