Expert protection against invisible threats
Our Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology Department carries out the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of diseases caused by microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.
We provide services to a wide range of diseases, from mild infections (flu, urinary tract infection, etc.) to life-threatening serious conditions (sepsis, meningitis, etc.). Our diagnostic processes are carried out in an integrated manner with our hospital's advanced microbiology laboratory, so that the disease agent is quickly identified and treatment is planned with the principle of "right antibiotic, right dose".
