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.

Strong fathers show up for their families every day 💙

But taking care of the people you love also means taking care of yourself.

This Father’s Day, we’re encouraging men to prioritise their health and take proactive steps like doing a PSA test for early detection and peace of mind.

For men 40 years and over, the NHFCard provides a subsidy of up to $1,920 toward PSA testing, making it easier to stay on top of your health.

Because strength also means knowing when to check in on yourself.

🏃🏽‍♀️💙 Moving with purpose!

The NHF team was proud to participate in the 11th staging of the Tru-Juice 5K Run/Walk, an event that brings together individuals, families, and organizations in support of a worthy cause.

More than just a race, the Tru-Juice 5K helps raise funds to support the Linstead Hospital through the provision of essential medical equipment and resources. Every step taken contributes to strengthening healthcare and making a positive impact in communities across Jamaica.

Thank you to the organizers, supporters, and participants who made this year's event a success. Together, we're helping to build healthier communities - one step at a time.

Let’s clear up a common misconception 👀

Which statement is true?

The correct answer is:
✅ A PSA test is a simple blood test.

PSA testing can help detect prostate problems, including prostate cancer, early - often before symptoms appear.

For men 40 years and over, the NHFCard provides a subsidy of up to $1,920 toward PSA testing once per year, making it easier to take proactive steps toward better health 💙

Storm preparation isn’t only about batteries and bottled water ⛈️

Your medication should be part of your hurricane preparedness plan too.

Don’t wait until a storm warning is issued to refill your prescription. Using your NHFCard to prepare early can help you avoid the last-minute rush and ensure you have the medication you need when it matters most.

Aim to keep at least a two-week supply on hand this hurricane season 💙
