The Hospital for Infectious and Tropical Diseases "Dr. Victor Babes" was founded in the year 1956. Twenty years later, in 1976, the University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Carol Davila", Department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases” was founded and was based in the Hospital for Infectious and Tropical Diseases "Dr. Victor Babes". The one who organized the department in its first years of operation and guided it until 1995 was the late Professor Dr. Ludovic Paun.

Training for infectious diseases takes place within the department with classes being organized annually for 3-4 series of students including tropical diseases classes. Training is provided for Infectious Diseases residents as well as other specialties which cover the subject in their curriculum. Postgraduate courses are also held within the department.

Within the Hospital of Infectious and Tropical Diseases "Dr. Victor Babes" doctors operate in eight clinical departments (Department of HIV / AIDS, two pulmonology sections, two sections of pediatric infectious diseases, two sections of adult infectious diseases and a section of Dermatology) and a clinic for viral hepatitis.

In 2011 the intensive care unit was founded, with a capacity of 9 beds, this increased the efficiency of medical care, ensuring the highest level of therapeutic conditions for patients with severe infectious diseases. The medical activity is supported by the laboratories of bacteriology, parasitology, hematology and biochemistry equipped to the highest standards. At the moment, the hospital is able to treat any infectious pathology at European standards.

Yearly, 3-4 series of 6th year students from the University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Carol Davila"  come into the Infectious Dieseases Clinic at the Hospital of Infectious and Tropical Diseases "Dr. Victor Babes”. Our clinic has also hosted foreign and Erasmus students and organized english lectures for them.

For lecture purposes, the clinic has two amphitheaters with a capacity of  55 or 25 students. The infectious diseases module is organized in two distinct parts: the lecture and the practical lessons. The lectures are interactive, dynamic and permanently being updated to ensure the information presented is the most recent. The practical activity in the clinic takes place under the supervision of the staff in charge of each group. The supervisor will present relevant cases of infectious diseases pathology and then has group discussion with the students to ensure an optimal understanding of each disease.

The Clinic for Infectious and Tropical Diseases "Dr. Victor Babes” colaborates with all the similar clinics nationwide, this activity materializes into the organizing of national congresses and conferences, and in the publishing of the Romanian Magazine for Infectious Diseases.

The reseach activity of our staff can be seen in a number of articles published or presented at national and international scientific gatherings.
