COVID-19 might be the most infamous infectious disease at this point in time, but it is by no means the only one that we need to worry about. From dengue to rabies, SARS to tuberculosis, influenza to HIV, infectious diseases can significantly impact a population’s health because of how it can spread from individual to individual. On this episode of Humans of Healthcare, we speak to consultant ID physician Dr Yasmin Gani on what her job looks like both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what it takes to become an ID physician.
