The Iloilo Provincial Hospital (IPH) achieved a significant milestone by becoming the first and only DOH-certified HIV Confirmatory Laboratory in the Province of Iloilo.
With the certification, the IPH can now perform testing and confirmatory laboratory procedures such as HIV/AIDS Testing and Rapid HIV Diagnostics Algorithm (rHIVda) confirmatory test, reducing the need for diagnostic referrals to the Western Visayas Medical Center.
This additional service strengthens the capability of our Iloilo Provincial Government (IPG) group of hospitals to provide HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support to patients.
Currently, the IPG group of hospitals includes three HIV/AIDS treatment centers: Rep. Pedro G. Trono Memorial Hospital in Guimbal, Jesus M. Colmenares District Hospital in Balasan, and Iloilo Provincial Hospital in Pototan.
