About Us
In September 1993, a small group of microbiologists and infectious diseases specialists in Karachi formed The Karachi Infectious Diseases Society which later grew into a nation wide body of microbiologists and ID physician and thus became to be known as THE INFECTIOUS DISEASES SOCIETY OF PAKISTAN (IDSP). This society was created to disseminate awareness and knowledge within the communities of common infections and their prevention. The society also aimed to update the primary physicians of current modalities in the treatment and management of common infections.
The Infectious Diseases Society of Pakistan (IDSP) is a registered body and represents a spectrum of disciplines including clinicians, non clinicians and basic sciences. The discipline of ‘Infectious Disease’ incorporates:
- Clinical medicine and therapeutics
