2025 Infectious Diseases and Guidelines
At Complete Healthcare International (CHI), we know that infectious diseases are an increasingly big threat in our globalized world today. Strategically situated in the heart of Singapore, our clinic Orchard provides preventive medical treatment, vaccination, screening, and medical care to keep you and your loved ones safe. With more than a decade of family clinics in Orchard, we provide world-class medical treatment with personalized service. With new infectious diseases such as bird flu (H5N1) surfacing in 2025, to persistent challenges such as HIV, tuberculosis, and malaria, our veteran doctors are always here to keep you informed with current guidelines and active protection.
Understanding the 2025 Infectious Disease Environment
Infectious diseases have never ceased to be a threat to public health. The COVID-19 pandemic was a rude awakening to the speed at which a virus could spread worldwide. Today, in 2025, we still keep a watchful eye on the emergence of critical pathogens that can wreak havoc on lives and health systems. At our Orchard international medical clinic, we remain abreast and ready, not just for outbreak surprises, but also for the “slow pandemics“ that still cause millions of deaths every year—malaria, HIV, and tuberculosis.
The H5N1 virus, or bird flu, is among the new concerns in 2025.Although it mostly affects animals such as poultry and dairy cattle, there have been increased cases of infection in humans, namely farm workers. The reason why this virus is a cause for concern is that it has a 30% death rate and has the ability to mutate, which makes it easier to transmit among humans. This potential has prompted governments globally to plan, by vaccine stockpiling and quick response capacity.
We use proactive prevention at CHI. As an established Orchard clinic, we advise patients to keep themselves up-to-date on trends in diseases internationally and get themselves adequately vaccinated accordingly.
How Complete Healthcare International (CHI) Keeps You Protected
Our broad spectrum of services is designed with prevention and early detection in mind. We offer:
- Vaccination Services: Like flu vaccines, travel vaccines, and other recommended immunisations.
- Regular and Advanced Health Screening: For early identification of chronic illnesses and infections.
- Travel Health Consultation: For individuals traveling from and to high-risk countries.
- Chronic Disease Management: Especially in HIV, diabetic, or respiratory disease patients, which makes an individual more vulnerable to infections.
Our position as an international medical clinic Orchard patients trust means we treat a multicultural community, ranging from expatriates to local families. We personalize our care to meet your medical history, lifestyle, and future requirements.
One Health Approach: A Wider Understanding of Well-being
We at CHI practice medicine with a “One Health“ vision—a feeling of mutual dependence among human, animal, and environmental health. Emerging diseases like H5N1 bird flu remind us that whatever happens in animals and the environment will ultimately come back to human health.
This is our way of life. For example, farmers or those who engage in animal husbandry must be careful with precautions, including the wearing of protective gear and keeping up to date with all vaccinations. Likewise, we recommend against the consumption of raw or unpasteurized animal products, as they may act as carriers of dangerous pathogens.

- Regular Check-ups: Visit your doctor every year, or more frequently if you have a chronic condition.
