Buy a medical business in Poland
07.09.2025
Polish legislation in the medical field is extremely conservative and bureaucratic. A mistake at the stage of choosing premises or renovation can lead to the clinic never receiving a permit to operate.
An investor attempting to open a clinic on their own often falls into a trap: rent is already being paid, renovation is done, but Sanepid acceptance drags on for months due to “incorrect ceiling height” or the lack of a necessary ventilation certificate.
Let’s look at the three main barriers that MED INVEST GROUP successfully overcomes.
1. Sanepid Acceptance (Odbiór Sanepidu)
This is the first and most difficult exam. The Sanitary-Epidemiological Station checks everything: from the quality of washable surfaces to the water composition in the tap.
Typical rookie mistakes: Non-compliance with disability access standards (e.g., a toilet that is too narrow), lack of separate sinks for instruments and hands, incorrect organization of “dirty” and “clean” instrument paths.
Our approach: We conduct a technological audit of the premises before signing the lease agreement. If the object is unsuitable, we do not take it. If it fits, we prepare a technological project that is guaranteed to pass approval.
2. Register of Medical Entities (RPWDL)
It is illegal to treat people in Poland without being recorded in this register. Registration requires not only premises but also a civil liability insurance policy (OC), proof of staff qualifications, and a correctly drafted company statute.
The application procedure is electronic, but any error in service codes or the description of the clinic’s structure leads to the return of documents and wasted time. Our lawyers do this flawlessly.
3. Waste Disposal (BDO)
Medical business generates hazardous waste. You cannot simply throw used gloves or syringes into a trash can. The clinic is obliged to register in the Waste Database (BDO) and sign a contract with a specialized company for removal and disposal. The absence of such a contract threatens huge fines.
Safety of Your Investments
Many consulting companies give “advice.” MED INVEST GROUP delivers results. We handle interaction with government agencies on a “turnkey” basis.
Your task is to approve the business plan. Our task is to hand you a folder with permits and a working clinic that inspectors have no questions about. We know local legislative nuances, saving the investor 3 to 6 months of downtime at the start.
