National Health Fund

National Health Fund The NHF is a programme established by the government of Jamaica to reduce the financial burden of healthcare to the Jamaican population.

The NHF focuses on illness prevention and health promotion by providing benefits that assist with the purchase of prescription drugs and by financing projects that support improvements in health. We provide two categories of benefits:

Individual Benefits - addresses the needs of individuals through financial support in filling prescriptions for the treatment of any of the fifteen chronic disease

s covered. Institutional Benefits - addresses primary healthcare through support for Health Promotion and Protection and provides financial support for the public sector health system, funding infrastructure and other development projects. Institutional Benefits also assists public and private sector entities to fund projects that promote/support a healthy lifestyle. The NHF has also expanded our role with the recent integration of Health Corporation Limited (HCL) and the National Health Fund, thus forming the NHF Pharmaceutical Division. This division is responsible for procurement, warehousing and distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for state-owned hospitals, health centres and Drug Serv Pharmacies. The NHF is also responsible for the operation of the ten (10) Drug Serv Pharmacies, which dispense medications for the government’s Abolition of User Fee programme and also provide competitively priced pharmaceuticals to the Jamaican public who are filling prescriptions issued by non-government health facilities or private healthcare providers.
