Bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are all around us. They only become dangerous when they multiply inside the body and cause an infection. Our Department of Infectious Diseases and Infection Prevention specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of infectious diseases. The specialist team also ensures that infections within the hospital are detected, treated correctly and – wherever possible – prevented from occurring in the first place. As part of the Medical Clinic at Zuger Kantonsspital, we work closely with all clinical departments, the nursing team and external specialists to achieve this.
