Breathe Better with Expert Respiratory Care The Department of Respiratory Medicine specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Respiratory medicine (also known as pulmonology or chest medicine) focuses on conditions involving the lungs, airways, pleura, and breathing disorders. These departments commonly manage asthma, COPD, pneumonia, tuberculosis, chronic cough, sleep-related breathing disorders, interstitial lung disease, and lung infections using clinical evaluation and advanced diagnostic procedures. If you experience persistent cough, breathing difficulty, wheezing, chest tightness, or repeated respiratory infections, consulting a respiratory medicine specialist can help ensure early diagnosis and effective treatment.
