The ministry said in a statement that the fire broke out in wooden kiosks that were unaffiliated with the ministry.
The fire spread to the Medical Licensing Administration's administrative headquarters and an adjoining office within the Central Laboratories building.
However, civil defence forces extinguished the flames before reaching the main Central Laboratories building or damaging critical medical equipment.
The ministry dispatched 10 ambulances to the scene, with investigations ongoing to determine the cause of the fire.
