Infectious disease

The Infectious Diseases Department offers a wide variety of both inpatient and out-patient services related to diagnosis and management of infections. We also provide referral consultative services in the diagnosis and therapy of difficult-to-treat infections.

The department is the cornerstone of the infection control committee which aims to ensure the reduction of healthcare associated infections. The Department’s role is to actively dissuade the development of infections and aggressively stamp them out. Our aim is not only to achieve this benchmark but we also look forward to being the national and international referral centre for Infectious Diseases, Tropical Medicine and Travel Medicine.
