NHF Pharmaceutical Division

The Government’s decision to wind up the operations of Health Corporation Limited (HCL) and the integration of some functions with the National Health Fund (NHF) became effective on March 31, 2011.

The NHF Pharmaceutical Division (formerly HCL) will procure, warehouse and distribute pharmaceuticals and medical supplies for state-owned hospitals and health centres.

The entity also assumed the responsibility to operate the ten (10) Drug Serv Pharmacies, which dispense medications for the government’s Abolition of User Fee programme and also providing competitively priced pharmaceuticals to the Jamaican public who are filling prescriptions issued by non-government health facilities or private healthcare providers.
