Infectious Diseases
When infections in children get severe, or increase the risk of health complications, they need the attention of specialists in Infectious Diseases. The Infectious Diseases Service at our hospital is the only medical service in Singapore dedicated to the care of children with severe and high-risk infections.
Our Children's Travel Clinic offers comprehensive travel advice and vaccination programmes for you and your child.
The service also provides specialised medical care for HIV-infected children in Singapore and manages the paediatric tuberculosis clinic at the Tuberculosis Control Unit at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
We help formulate protocols for outbreak response by providing inputs to the various national and hospital task force committees on infection control, bio-warfare surveillance, management and containment of hand-foot-mouth disease, AIDS, SARS and Pharmacy & Therapeutics.
Range of Services:
- Antibiotic usage monitoring
- Children's Travel Clinic
