About PSMID
The Philippine Society for Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (PSMID) is the country's foremost organization of infectious disease and clinical microbiology specialists. Founded in the early 1970s, the society is composed of physicians committed to advancing the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases in the Philippines. It serves as a central hub for clinical expertise, research, training, and public health advocacy.
PSMID plays a vital role in shaping national healthcare protocols through its clinical practice guidelines, annual conventions, and continuing education programs. The society has also led initiatives in antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention, and outbreak response — most notably its contribution to COVID-19 algorithms and guidelines, which were widely adopted by hospitals and practitioners across the country. Visitwww.psmid.org for resources and clinical tools.
In collaboration with government agencies, academic institutions, and health organizations, PSMID continues to shape the national conversation around infectious disease management. Its goal is to reduce the burden of infectious diseases through evidence-based practice, professional development, and regional partnerships.
