Residents of Seaview Gardens in St. Andrew are welcoming the opening of a Drug Serv pharmacy at the community health centre.
The move by the National Health Fund (NHF) allows members of the community and other users to access their medication at the same place where they receive their healthcare.
Prior to this, persons had to travel to Cross Roads or the Kingston Public Hospital (KPH) to get their medication.
Residents say this will allow them to save time and money.
Chief Executive Officer of the NHF, Everton Anderson, told JIS News that the agency is working assiduously to fulfil its mandate to consolidate the management of government pharmaceutical services.
He says the NHF has found that many of the primary care facilities are not properly covered as it relates to having reliable pharmacy service, which has been a major focus of the Fund.
