Drug business: is it worth opening a pharmacy in Ukraine?

The time to develop the pharmaceutical business seems right now. But in reality, things are not so simple. It is difficult to imagine the number of documents and various permits that need to be obtained. The turnover of medicines is very strictly controlled in Ukraine. Pharmacies are constantly inspected.

Everything looks something like this:

• Choose a format: classic pharmacy, minimarket, pharmacy kiosk.
• Choose the legal form of ownership and taxation system.
• Look for premises for a pharmacy. Requirements for it: an area of at least 50 meters, the proximity of hospitals and clinics will be an additional plus, the pharmacy should be opened on the ground floor, a bathroom is required.
• Obtaining a license. The process is laborious and long. Therefore, it is better to contact us at Regservice. We will meet the deadline in about a month and a half. It can take up to six months to obtain a license to open a pharmacy in Ukraine on your own.
