One of the important questions that concerns many medical organizations is whether it is allowed to continue medical activities while an application for license extension is under review.
According to the current procedure, if the validity period of the license expires before the application is reviewed, continuing medical activity is not permitted. Therefore, it is important to apply for the extension in advance.
An application for license renewal must be submitted through the “License” information system or the Unified Interactive Public Services Portal before the expiration date of the license.
The application review period is 30 days. During this period, the Center for Licensing and Accreditation of Medical Organizations conducts an on-site expert assessment. If deficiencies are identified during the inspection process, the application may be rejected.
In addition, obtaining relevant conclusions from coordinating authorities is also required. Therefore, it is recommended to apply at least two months before the expiration date of the license.
In conclusion, it is advisable for legal entities to submit an application for license extension in advance, without waiting for the license validity period to expire.
