In 1991, when our health care journey began, there was an urgent need to expand and upgrade health care services in Downtown Kingston. The public health care system was inadequate to meet the needs of the populace due, amongst other factors, to inadequate funding.

Charlie’s Pharmacy Ltd., a community retail pharmacy, was established by Mr Vervell “Charlie” McDaniel and his family, to provide a high quality health care facility in Downtown, Kingston. The directors of this establishment are committed to meeting the health care needs of this constituency by satisfying the main factors which influence the consumers’ choice – “cost, accessibility and quality of service” (Suzette Tulloch, UWI, 1997).
The Managing Director of Charlie’s Pharmacy Ltd. is Dr Dahlia McDaniel, a registered pharmacist for 37 years, who is a Public Health specialist. Dr McDaniel’s work with HIV/AIDS in Downtown Kingston, through Charlie’s Pharmacy Ltd., was highlighted at the 13th International AIDS Conference in Durban, South Africa in 2001, and she received a National Award from the Jamaican government in 2013 for her contribution to public health.

The pharmacy, apart from satisfying the general medication needs of our clients, is now a major supplier of medication for HIV/AIDS to clients from various areas of Jamaica. Charlie’s Pharmacy Ltd. is one of the largest suppliers of HIV medication in the private sector. In fact, since August 2010, they have been a supplier of HIV medications to the public, on behalf of the Ministry of Health, Jamaica.
Our pharmacists are also specialists in diabetes management and diabetes education. We value and cherish all our team members, whom we regard highly amongst our assets.
The pharmacy endorses and participates in the government of Jamaica’s health care programmes – Jamaica Drugs for the Elderly Programme (JADEP), and the National Health Fund (NHF). Charlie’s Pharmacy Ltd has received commendations for our provision of health care services to the public from these agencies. Charlie’s Pharmacy accepts all major private health insurance cards.
Our services include the WhatsApp Prescription Service and the Prescription Delivery service. In this way, we can serve the wider Jamaican community, not just persons who live and work and traverse Downtown Kingston. Stay where you are, and we will get your medication to you.
Charlie’s Pharmacy Ltd is a good corporate citizen, frequently donating pharmaceuticals, amongst other gifts to the Brother’s of the Poor, and The Lord’s Place at Higholborn Street, Kingston, and the Church of God in Jamaica.
