Pulmonology and Chest Diseases
Pulmonology and Chest Diseases
Pulmonology is the specialty area of medicine that focuses specifically on the respiratory system, which consists of the lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, associated blood vessels, and all other components involved in and directly related to breathing and the process of respiration (gas exchange).
Pulmonologists are often specialists in critical care and treat very sick patients in ICU settings who require mechanical ventilation in order to breathe.
As we are dealing with dangerous diseases like corona lately, pulmonology remains a critical branch of medicine that ensures the well-being of one’s respiratory system. Our 113 bedded infrastructure and the team of experts allow us to provide superior services.
