Jamaicans living with a disability and benefiting from the National Health Fund (NHF) can now enjoy a doubled subsidy on certain medications and medical services. This measure, which came into effect on September 30, 2026, aims to alleviate the financial burden associated with chronic illnesses. The program, which could impact approximately 17,000 beneficiaries, was officially launched on October 15. Affected individuals must be registered with the Jamaica Council for Persons with Disabilities.
