Overview
Pulmonology is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the respiratory system — including the lungs, airways, and respiratory muscles. Pulmonologists manage both acute and chronic lung conditions, providing expert care for breathing difficulties, persistent cough, chest infections, and complex respiratory diseases.
Common conditions treated include asthma, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), pneumonia, tuberculosis, sleep apnea, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, and pleural diseases. With the rising burden of air pollution-related and lifestyle-related respiratory diseases, timely evaluation and expert management are essential.
The department provides advanced diagnostic services including pulmonary function tests (spirometry), bronchoscopy, chest imaging interpretation, and sleep studies, as well as management of patients requiring oxygen therapy and respiratory support.
