Licensing ordinances for healthcare establishments – new rules, adaptation and licensing in progress

The Health, Pharmacy and Biotechnology Economic Unit's team draws attention to the minimum requirements relating to licensing, installation, organization and operation, human resources and technical installations of different types of healthcare establishments in Portugal.

Decree-Law No. 127/2014, of August 22, established the legal regime for the opening, modification and operation of healthcare establishments. This regime applies regardless of the name, legal nature or entity holding the farm.

The opening and operation of a healthcare establishment depends on verifying the technical operating requirements applicable to each of the types. These requirements are defined by order of the member of the Government responsible for the health area.
