Understanding Respiratory Health Conditions
Respiratory disorders affect a substantial proportion of the population and require specialist medical attention. Our pulmonology department manages chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchial asthma, interstitial lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, tuberculosis, pneumonia, and other respiratory infections.

- Persistent cough lasting more than three weeks
- Shortness of breath during routine activity

Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
- Pulmonary function tests (PFT) to measure lung capacity and airflow
- Chest X-rays and CT scans for detailed lung imaging
- Bronchoscopy for direct airway examination
- Sleep studies for diagnosing sleep apnoea and related disorders
Evidence-Based Treatment Approach
Treatment plans are individualised according to the specific condition, severity, and overall health status. Chronic conditions such as asthma and COPD are managed through medication protocols including inhalers, nebulisers, and oral medications. Interventional procedures include bronchoscopy for airway clearance, pleural fluid drainage for lung infections, and oxygen therapy for patients with reduced blood oxygen levels.
Patient-Centred Care Process
The treatment pathway begins with a thorough consultation reviewing medical history and symptoms, supported by physical examination and, where indicated, diagnostic testing. Findings are explained clearly, with treatment options discussed to support informed patient decision-making. Structured follow-up monitors treatment progress and allows timely adjustment of the management plan.
