Infectious disease is an illness caused by the spread of prions or micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites) to humans, animals or the environment, including food and water.
At Sengkang General Hospital, we take preventative medicine very seriously and are always striving to prevent disease long before it occurs. Some good ways to prevent infectious diseases include washing your hands often, using antibiotics as prescribed by your doctor, getting vaccinated, being conscious about your food preparation, not sharing personal items, practising safe sex, and staying at home when you feel like you might have an infection or illness coming on.
