The Department of Infectious Diseases at Baby Memorial Hospital provides expert care in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of a wide range of infections. Our team works closely with clinical departments and the microbiology laboratory to ensure accurate interpretation of test results, guiding precise antibiotic selection and treatment plans. This collaborative approach improves patient outcomes, particularly for those in hospital wards and intensive care, while minimizing unnecessary antibiotic use and healthcare costs.

The department manages outpatient and inpatient cases, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, leprosy, sexually transmitted infections, post-COVID complications, diabetic foot infections, osteomyelitis, and transplant-related infections. We also provide preventive care such as travel medicine advice, vaccinations, and immunization programs. Advanced diagnostic tools, including PCR and GeneXpert, along with NABL-accredited labs and isolation facilities, enable rapid and safe management of contagious and complex infections. With teleconsultation, post-COVID care clinics, and integrated support with ICU, surgical, and transplant teams, the department ensures comprehensive, patient-centered infectious disease care.
