Pulmonology

At NHS Hospitals, our Department of Pulmonology is dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Breathing is vital to life, and our specialists work tirelessly to ensure that every patient receives the care needed to breathe easier and live healthier.

Our expert pulmonologists treat a wide range of respiratory illnesses, from common conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic cough to more complex diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease, pulmonary hypertension, tuberculosis, sleep-related breathing disorders, and lung infections. We also specialize in the management of critically ill patients with acute respiratory distress and other severe pulmonary conditions.

Equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities, the department offers advanced testing such as pulmonary function tests (PFTs), bronchoscopy, chest X-rays, CT scans, and sleep studies to provide accurate and timely diagnoses. These modern technologies, combined with the clinical expertise of our doctors, enable us to detect even subtle respiratory abnormalities and initiate treatment without delay.

Our pulmonology team works in close collaboration with other specialties including critical care, cardiology, oncology, and thoracic surgery, ensuring that patients with complex or overlapping health conditions receive comprehensive, multidisciplinary care. For instance, in cases of lung cancer or advanced pulmonary diseases, we coordinate seamlessly with oncologists and surgeons to design the best treatment pathway.

In addition to treatment, we focus strongly on preventive care and patient education. Lifestyle guidance, smoking cessation programs, vaccination advice, and personalized rehabilitation plans are integral parts of our services, empowering patients to manage their respiratory health proactively. We also provide long-term care for patients with chronic respiratory illnesses, ensuring consistent follow-up and monitoring.

NHS Hospitals offers round-the-clock emergency services, including immediate intervention for acute asthma attacks, severe infections, and respiratory distress. Our ICU and ventilator facilities are equipped to handle critical pulmonary emergencies with the highest standards of safety and care.

At NHS Hospitals, our Pulmonology department is not just about treating diseases—it’s about restoring breath, enhancing quality of life, and giving patients the freedom to live fully.
