We specialize in personalized management of respiratory conditions through our dedicated Asthma and COPD Clinic and an Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) Unit, focusing on diseases like pulmonary fibrosis and sarcoidosis. Our advanced bronchoscopy services include techniques like Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) for both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
Our department is actively involved in clinical trials aimed at exploring novel therapies for asthma, COPD, and ILD, and we also run a Post-COVID Clinic to assist patients with lingering symptoms. Furthermore, our Pulmonary Rehabilitation program is tailored to improve lung function and quality of life, especially for those recovering from chronic lung diseases.
Our alumni are successfully contributing as faculty members in esteemed medical institutes, reinforcing our reputation for excellence in respiratory medicine.
