Our Infectious Diseases service is designed to meet the needs of patients in the hospital and outpatient setting. Doctors within the specialty identify and treat infections arising from exposure to infectious pathogens, or infections that occur after surgical procedures. Infectious Diseases provides medical care for patients with conditions that are caused by bacteria, mycobacteria, viruses, fungi and parasite infections.
We also see and treat a large number of foreign patients from less developed countries with infections not commonly found in Singapore. Consultation services are provided to medical and surgical services by request. Patients may also be referred to the Infectious Diseases Clinic for outpatient disease management.
The specialty also provides consultation services to other departments and clinical services whenever expertise in infectious diseases is required. Additionally, it conducts lessons on communicable disease prevention and management for healthcare workers and the public. Most critically, the service plays a vital role in disease outbreak response management.
We provide the following treatment and services.
Our Infectious Diseases clinic takes referrals for challenging infectious diseases cases from the community and assists in the management of the medical conditions. The clinic also provides post-hospital follow-up for infectious conditions, when deemed necessary by the ID consultation service.
For ambulant patients who still require intravenous antibiotic therapy, we provide an Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy service, which would allow patients to recuperate at home while still receiving vital medical treatment.
