From testing facility to treatment hub.
The Dr. Rafael S. Tumbokon Memorial Hospital HIV Treatment Hub began as a simple testing facility in 2005. Following the results of tests, clients were referred to a neighboring province for treatment.
After training and mentoring by the Western Visayas Medical Center HIV Treatment Hub, HANTOP became a satellite hub. Its team grew and expanded services to comprehensive HIV care for clients in Aklan and surrounding provinces.
The original website emphasises treatment adherence, case management, stigma reduction, psychosocial wellbeing and client dignity.
