About Piskay Clinic
In 2009, the core team of PISKAY Clinic (formerly GCGMMC treatment hub) was established. After training the members in RITM, the hub was founded, and we had our first patient in 2010. Initially, we had like one to two new patients per year, but it gradually increased to 4-5 new clients monthly. Currently, we have over 400 clients, with 300+ actively undergoing ART. Back then, ARV supplies were scarce, requiring shipments from Manila and Cebu, now we have ample ARV supplies. With a larger team and partners like TB DOTS, the hub now boasts medtechs, nurses, case managers, peer navigators, and pharmacists. We offer comprehensive services and complete facilities. We take pride in our ability to maintain discretion, in all our years of service there were no leaks or confidentiality breaches. The welcoming staff ensures a discrimination-free environment for all.
​
The team came up with the name, PISKAY. It’s a Bisaya term that is relatable to Boholanos. PISKAY means full of life, vigor, lively, full of energy. We chose that name because our aim is to help our clients become healthy and live quality lives. When people come to us sick, we want them to leave in a better state of health and on guide them on the path to recovery. We started out as a small group, we envision a future where every member is diligently equipped with a comprehensive understanding of the system's intricacies, ensuring that our operations are not reliant on a sole individual. This approach guarantees uninterrupted service provision and the sustained delivery of high-quality healthcare to our valued clients.
​
Here at PISKAY, we offer a range of services including RIVDA confirmatory tests, making the process more convenient for our clients. Additionally, we conduct viral load tests, CD4 counts, baseline laboratories, and gene expert analyses. Whether you're an existing client, old, new, or incoming, we ensure top-quality care. Our hub operates as a one-stop shop, providing everything you require under one roof, eliminating any concerns or hassles.
