About RMPH We Care
We provide psychosocial support, mental health referrals, adherence counseling, and advocate for prevention measures such as mother-to-child transmission prevention, TB/HIV/AIDS education, PREP, and STI management.
WE CARE believes that it is critical for every member of the Capiznon community to have HIV awareness, motivation, and knowledge in order to protect themselves from the consequences of the virus. Our primary goal is to provide support to all Capiznon people living with HIV (PLHIV), with a particular emphasis on increased empathy. Our overarching vision is to provide comprehensive and compassionate support to PLHIV and their familieThe WE CARE facility started as a dream for the Roxas Memorial Provincial Hospital. Back in 2018, we were only a referral hospital. However, as the number of HIV patients increased, we needed a facility to provide direct care for them. WE CARE stands for Capiz Advocacy and Reassuring Engagement for HIV Prevention and Control, and it represents exactly what we do for our patients. WE CARE.
WE CARE offers HIV counseling, testing, financial assistance, doctor consultations, and primary care for HIV/AIDS and related infections such as tuberculosis.s, while maintaining strict confidentiality and fostering a sense of empowerment and respect.
