HFR on UHI

The HFR is the national register of health facilities: hospitals, clinics, labs, imaging centres and pharmacies. On UHI it names the place behind a listing.

Where it appears

FieldServiceRequired

AMRIT pharmacy is the only UHI service in this portal whose catalogue carries the facility identifier as a field of its own. It is one of three things that service adds over the others.

What the document does not fill in

The value appears as the placeholder <HFR_ID>, with no filled example published. The AMRIT page records the same gap for the store hours and the contact block. Treat the field's format as whatever the HFR itself issues, and confirm it against a real store entry before you rely on it.

Where the ID comes from

Not from UHI. A facility is enrolled in the HFR through M4 on HIE-CM, and the create call there needs a professional token from an HPR ID with facility manager rights. UHI quotes the result.
