Yahweh Rapha
God himself identifies, in Exodus 15:26 as "The God Who Heals". This statement follows a purifying of a bitter spring and a statute and ordinance given - that if Israel obeyed God completely and explicitly, God would not inflict upon them what He did to the Egyptians.
Who is this being who claims power over sickness and health? Simply, it is God. After all, He created the entirety of the universe, so surely He has the power to cure or afflict His creation. Add to this the fact that this name is a name given to God not by man, but by God Himself. God is a healer God, providing for our needs.
