Department of Infectious Diseases plays a vital role in looking after transplanted patients to prevent them from rejecting their transplanted kidneys as they are immuno-compromised and susceptible to multiple infections which are often very complicated and require expensive and time consuming treatment. Moreover, SIUT conducts around 63000 surgeries annually. Infectious Disease input is required for preoperative surgical input access. Infectious Disease is therefore a very critical service required in an institute of our kind and size.

Infection control is a field in Infectious Disease that has to do with preventing the spread of infection within the hospital. This involves increasing awareness among health care workers as to how pathogens are spread. And in this regard, SIUT has already trained and certified over 300 healthcare workers.
