We provide care to patients with proven or suspected infections.
These infections may be bacterial, viral, fungal or parasitic in origin, and may be acquired locally from the community, during travel, through occupational exposure or from contact with healthcare settings.
Examples include Pneumonia, Dengue Fever, HIV/AIDS, Multi-Drug Resistant Bacterial Infections, Typhoid Fever, Tuberculosis, Influenza, Chikungunya, etc.
We also conduct research and clinical trials to facilitate medical advancement in the field of Infectious Diseases, Public Health and Epidemiology, leading to extensive publications in the local, regional and international arena.
