Persons seeking to build a hospital or healthcare facility must first obtain a licence from the Board. In order to be eligible for a licence, you must first submit an application along with the following requirements to the Facilities Board:

• Satisfy the Board that you are a fit and proper person.
• Payment of the prescribed fee.
• Satisfy the Board that the hospital or healthcare facility would be operating in the interest of public health.

Upon approval, the Board issues the licence which should be prominently displayed in the facility. The licensc is valid until the end of December and should be renewed annually by submitting an application and prescribed fee payment.

In a case where the owner of the licence dies or resigns from the business of the hospital or healthcare facility, the Board may, upon application, consider transferring the license to the succeeding person. The individual must, however, first satisfy the Board that he is a fit and proper person to operate the facility. The transfer or variation of the licence is indicated by endorsement on the licence along with the date when the change was made.

Any interested party may apply.
