Hello!
The information regarding our registration procedures is available on our web page:
ENG: https://terviseamet.ee/en/healthcare/registration-of-health-care-professionals
Our registration procedures are exempt from a state fee for a person who has received a residence permit under the Act on Granting International Protection to Aliens during one year as of receipt of the residence permit.
Our web page states that in order to assess the compliance of professional qualifications with the requirements, the person having acquired qualifications in a foreign state shall pass a compliance examination for the assessment. Just to be more specific – all health care professionals, whose qualifications meet the requirements laid out in our law, have to take this exam. If a person’s qualification does not meet the requirements (for example, their nursing studies are based on basic education as opposed to secondary education or the study period was less than 3,5 years) then they cannot get registered.
Also for your reference: https://www.terviseamet.ee/en/information-doctors-dentists-nurses-and-midwives-whose-education-has-been-acquired-outside-european
As for our healthcare system, you will find information here: https://www.tervisekassa.ee/en If you have any questions about health care and health insurance, please contact the Customer Service of the Health Insurance Fund (

Dear Colleagues,
We are writing to you from Ukrainian Health Professional Registration Agency (UHPRA) to seek cooperation in providing vital information for all Ukrainian health professionals who have been forced to flee their country due to ongoing war.
Ukrainian Health Professional Registration Agency (UHPRA) is a public institution that contributes to the development of healthcare system of Ukraine in order to shape and protect the rights of health professionals.
Our main objective in these difficult times for Ukraine is to collect the crucial information from each medical regulatory authority or council around the world to advise Ukrainian health practitioners on the steps to continue their medical practice in the country in which they have found temporary protection.
With regard to the medical professionals, the Ukrainian Health Professional Registration Agency has been doing its best at providing the most recent and essential information for health workers who are now staying abroad and who must work to earn for a living. In particular, it has been extremely useful to receive updates concerning the healthcare systems, medical education, registration procedures and employment in each country of the world so that any displaced health practitioner may navigate easily and obtain only valid data.
We, therefore, are kindly asking you to make your own contribution into this essential project aiming at promoting well-being of those who work in the healthcare sphere. We would need the most up-to-date information related to the healthcare system, obtaining medical degree, registration procedures and employment in your country so that we are able to post them on our website as guidelines for health professionals from Ukraine.
Should you agree and confirm your availability, we would be happy to organize an online meeting or phone conversation to discuss the project in details.
We much appreciate your understanding and collaboration.
Looking forward to your response.
Kind Regards,
Stepan Zakharov
Registrar
