Welcome to the website of the North East Regional Health Authority (NERHA). The NERHA team hopes that through this medium you will gain useful information on the health services offered in the region. Our main aim at NERHA is to make available the highest quality health care for the approximately 356,000 persons residing in the parishes of St. Ann, St. Mary and Portland and also our visitors. Our commitment to this aim is enacted through the high standard of patient care provided in the region’s network of four (4) general hospitals, two (2) community hospitals and seventy three (73) health centres. The highly dedicated and skilled team at the NERHA offers health care that targets not only patients’ physical and physiological needs, but also their mental, social and spiritual well being. With your continued support the NERHA strives to be the premier provider, enabler and facilitator of health care in Jamaica.

I encourage you to explore our website. Please offer your comments and suggestions on how we may serve you better, whether via this website, by telephone or in person at any of our locations in the region. We need your help to improve and strengthen NERHA. Most importantly, however I request that you collaborate with our NERHA team to ensure that each and every resident and visitor in the region maintains good health by making healthy life style choices. Healthy lifestyle choices will ensure a healthy nation.
