NHF now delivering medication for Drug Serv patients 65 and older
KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Health Fund (NHF) has started home delivery of medication to Drug Serv patients 65 years and older.
Patients in St Thomas, Kingston, St Andrew, St Catherine and Manchester were among the first to get their medication delivered to their homes earlier this week.
According to the NHF, the service started with patients 65 years and older on the scheduled refill programme who have monthly appointments to pick up their medication at their Drug Serv pharmacy and will expand to other patients in the age group as the programme rolls out.
“This week NHF started our home delivery programme, as we respond to the needs of our Drug Serv patients who are required to stay home to reduce possible infection from COVID 19. The NHF is sensitive to customers’ needs and our aim is to always innovate to take care of our customers, both internal and external,” NHF CEO Everton Anderson said.
He noted that there are approximately 30,000 people 65 years and older who are using Drug Serv each month. He said several methods will be explored for the delivery of medication.
The NHF said Drug Serv patients who are 65 and older may request home delivery service by texting their name and their Drug Serv Pharmacy to 876-219-9937/876-219-9929, calling NHF at 876-906-1106 or talk live via Web Chat on the NHF website page from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on week-days.
