Govt. Updates Provisions on Hospital Classifications and Licensing

In an effort to establish an improved management regime for hospitals, the Minister of Health (“Minister”) recently issued Regulation No. 3 of 2020 on the Classification and Licensing of Hospitals (“Regulation 3/2020”), which sets out an updated regulatory framework for the classification of hospitals, as well as the organization of their activities and relevant licensing requirements and procedures.[1]  Previously, said framework was set under the now-repealed Regulation of the Minister No. 30 0f 2019 on the Classification and Licensing of Hospitals[2] (“Regulation 30/2019”).[3]
