By virtue of this Act, the PHA was vested with the powers, rights, privileges and ownership, of all land, buildings, movable property and undertakings of the hospitals that were previously held by the government. There are three (3) such institutions, namely:

Princess Margaret Hospital (PMH)
Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre (SRC); and
Rand Memorial Hospital (RAND)

National Emergency Medical Services (NEMS)
Bahamas National Drug Agency (BNDA)
Materials Management Directorate (MMD)
The Community Health Services in Grand Bahama, which together with the Rand Hospital encompasses the Local Health System known as the Grand Bahama Health Services (GBHS).
