Exceptional competencies
End-to-end support for obtaining a medical activity licence
Octomedical runs licensing as a separate stage of a turnkey clinic launch: we assess the starting point, prepare documents across six blocks, book appointments and attend them at the Ministry of Health. The legal work is done by our partner — Aurora law firm (since 2015), for which medical-licence support is a priority practice.

Frequently asked questions
If you have a question, you can ask us by phone or through the contact form on the site.
Who needs a medical activity licence?
A legal entity that will provide medical services in Belarus. You may start only after the licence is entered in the Unified Register.
How long does it take to obtain a licence?
Typical time is 6–8 months from prepayment, plus the next available Ministry of Health appointment slot.
How much does the support cost?
Starter package — from $5,000 (paid in BYN at the National Bank rate). The final amount depends on equipment, devices, furniture and staff counts.
Can we operate while the licence is being processed?
No. Medical activity without a licence leads to a fine and confiscation of income. You may start only after entry in the Unified Register.
What do you need from the client at the start?
Basic facts on the legal entity, premises, planned services, equipment and staff. The exact list is set at the kick-off meeting.
Do you guarantee that the licence will be granted?
A regulator’s decision cannot be guaranteed. We are responsible for correct preparation and filing and attend every appointment to keep the risk of refusal as low as we can.
