Our Pulmonology department specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the respiratory system, including the lungs and airways. Our expert team of pulmonologists offers comprehensive care for a wide range of respiratory disorders such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pneumonia, tuberculosis, interstitial lung diseases, and lung cancer. We provide advanced diagnostic services including pulmonary function tests, bronchoscope, and imaging studies to accurately assess and diagnose respiratory conditions. Our treatment approaches encompass personalized management plans tailored to each patient's needs, ICU care for critically ill patients, non invasive and invasive ventilation support, incorporating medications, inhalation therapies. With a commitment to excellence and compassionate care, our Pulmonology department is dedicated to improving respiratory health and enhancing the quality of life for our patients.

Procedures & Treatments
Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs): Assess lung function to diagnose conditions such as asthma, COPD, and restrictive lung diseases.
Bronchoscope: A procedure using a flexible scope to visualize the airways, obtain samples for biopsy, and remove mucus plugs or foreign objects.
Thoracentesis: Removal of fluid or air from the pleural space surrounding the lungs to relieve symptoms and obtain diagnostic samples.
Biopsy: Obtaining tissue samples from the lungs or airways to diagnose conditions such as lung cancer, interstitial lung diseases, or infections.
Mechanical Ventilation: Providing breathing support for patients with respiratory failure, acute exacerbations of chronic lung diseases, or during surgery.
Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) Therapy: Treatment for obstructive sleep apnea, involving the use of a machine to deliver air pressure to keep the airways open during sleep.
Nebulization Therapy: Inhalation of medications in mist form to manage conditions like asthma, COPD, or cystic fibrosis.
Oxygen Therapy: Supplemental oxygen delivery to improve oxygenation for patients with respiratory failure or chronic hypoxemia.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Comprehensive programs combining exercise, education, and support to improve lung function, reduce symptoms, and enhance quality of life for patients with chronic lung diseases.
Smoking Cessation Programs: Support services and interventions to help individuals quit smoking and reduce the risk of developing or exacerbating respiratory conditions.
Management of Chronic Respiratory Conditions: Including asthma, COPD, bronchiectasis, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary hypertension, and cystic fibrosis through medication management, lifestyle modifications, and education.
Diagnostic treatment for tuberculosis and follow-up of the patient.
Training and counseling on the use of inhalers, including MDIs (Metered Dose Inhalers) and DPIs (Dry Powder Inhalers).
