  2. Close coordination with other institutes: By implementing testing methods adhering to international standards, we will be able to diagnose conditions other institutes are unable to do.
  3. Significant educational support: Comprehensive educational support will be offered by professors specialized in each field of infectious diseases.
  4. Support to other departments: Thorough support through consultation and measures against infectious diseases will be offered.
