Respiratory Medicine

The Respiratory Medicine Department at our hospital is a leading center for the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of a wide spectrum of lung and respiratory conditions. With a strong emphasis on accurate diagnosis, personalized care, and advanced therapeutic techniques, we cater to patients of all age groups suffering from chronic, infectious, allergic, and lifestyle-related respiratory issues.

Respiratory health is essential for overall well-being. Our expert pulmonologists, supported by skilled respiratory therapists, critical care specialists, and diagnostic teams, are dedicated to restoring and maintaining optimal lung function. Whether it’s managing a long-term condition like asthma or providing life-saving care in acute respiratory failure, we offer comprehensive and compassionate pulmonary care.

10. Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a treatment that allows doctors to examine your lungs and air channels. A doctor who specializes in lung problems (a pulmonologist) typically performs the procedure. Bronchoscopy involves inserting a tiny tube (bronchoscope) into your nose or mouth, down your throat, and into your lungs.
