Where are the most companies with medical licenses?
Almost 14 thousand companies have the right to practice medicine in Ukraine, according to the Ministry of Health of Ukraine (MoH) as of mid-October 2024. In 2024, 16% more medical licenses were issued than in the same period last year. Nursing, healthcare organization and management, and therapy are in demand. Every fifth licensed medical company is located in Kyiv.
13,887 companies and 28,054 sole proprietors have received licenses from the Ministry of Health. You cancheck whether a medical institution is legally operating and has the right to provide medical services in the Openatabot.
However, since the Ministry of Health does not publish TINs of sole proprietors, it is currently impossible to check whether such an entrepreneur has a medical license.
The peak of medical licenses was in 2019: 910 companies in 9 months. Since then, the number of new permits to work in the medical field has only been decreasing.
355 medical licenses have been issued to Ukrainian companies since the beginning of the year. This is 16.4% more than in the same period in 2023, but still less than before the full-scale war. During the same period in 2021, 670 licenses were issued.
Most of the issued medical licenses are valid: 81,1%.
Most licenses were issued for nursing – 87% of the total number of companies. Healthcare organization and management is next (81%), and therapy is the most popular (39%). It should be noted that one company can hold licenses for several areas.
Ultrasound diagnostics (30.6%), neurology (28.3%), obstetrics and gynecology (27.7%), and dentistry (26.9%) are somewhat less popular.
However, there are also areas that are almost not in demand. For example, forensic psychiatric examination or such narrow fields as forensic toxicology and cytology – only a few companies have licenses in these areas.
In general, most medical companies with valid licenses operate in Kyiv – 20%. This is followed by Dnipropetrovs’k region (8%), Donetsk, Lviv and Kharkiv regions (6% each).
The list of the largest licensed companies by revenue includes a large number of businesses that do not have a leading medical business. Mostly, these are companies that offer medical services to their employees. For example, the top company is Nibulon, one of the leaders of the Opendatabot’s Rating of the Largest Employers in Ukraine, which had UAH 22.9 billion in revenue last year.
“Obtaining a medical license was necessitated by the need to have professional medical support for the employees of the Transshipment Terminal in Mykolaiv, the largest facility in NIBULON’s network of transshipment complexes and elevators.
Since then, we have a first aid room here, which now provides services to employees, primarily to drivers of the company’s own vehicles at the stages of pre-trip and post-trip inspection,” comments Yana Romanenko, HR Director at NIBULON.
However, there are companies in the top that provide medical care to everyone – this is the M.T.K. Medical Center with a turnover of 4.2 billion in 2023.
Also, the top companies are Dobrobut Polyclinic Medical Center with a revenue of UAH 2.2 billion, Dila Medical Laboratory, which earned UAH 2 billion, and Cinevo Ukraine with a turnover of UAH 1.9 billion.
It is worth noting that the top list also includes pharmaceutical companies such as: “Darnitsa, Kyivmedpreparat, Zdorovye, and Borshchahivskiy Chemical and Pharmaceutical Plant.
