Healthcare Sector and Pharma Industry
Healthcare and pharmaceutical activities represent one of the most essential and strategically sensitive sectors in Georgia, directly affecting the health and well-being of the population.
For organizations operating in this field, the legal landscape is complex and highly regulated. However, the abundance of regulations often leads to confusion and interpretation challenges, making professional legal consultation crucial for businesses.
Companies operating in this sector such as medical institutions, hospitals or outpatient clinics, pharmacy chains, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical equipment importers, or research institutions must comply with Georgian legislation, licensing and permitting conditions, and professional ethical standards.
Justice League specializes in providing legal support to the healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors, offering full legal services related to company registration, obtaining licenses and permits, regulatory compliance, and risk management.
The healthcare system in Georgia is governed by multiple legal acts, the most important of which is the Law of Georgia on Healthcare, which defines the principles of medical services, patients’ rights, physician certification, licensing of medical activities, the issuance of permits to medical institutions, and mechanisms for the quality control of medical services and medications.
The pharmaceutical sector is regulated by the Law of Georgia on Drugs and Pharmaceutical Activities, which includes:
- Rules for registering pharmaceutical products and placing them on the market
- Conditions for import, production, retail, and wholesale distribution
- Standards for quality control, storage, and transportation
- Requirements for professional qualifications and liability of pharmaceutical specialists
Companies operating in the healthcare and pharmaceutical field often face legal challenges, including:
- Mandatory certification requirements for medical personnel and disputes with patients or institutions
- Bureaucratic hurdles during the permitting process for inpatient facilities
- Licensing for the manufacturing of pharmaceutical and medical-use products
- Disputes with the regulatory agency overseeing medical and pharmaceutical activities
Licenses and Permits
Healthcare and pharmaceutical activities in Georgia are subject to mandatory licensing and permitting procedures. A license is required for services such as emergency medical care, forensic medical examination, forensic psychiatric examination, and pathological-anatomical services. A permit is required for operating inpatient facilities, pharmaceutical production, and licensed pharmacies.
