If you're suffering from respiratory diseases, you may benefit from the Pulmonary Medicine services offered at NUmed Hospital. Pulmonary diseases are diseases that affect the lungs. These can range from a genetic disorder known as Cystic Fibrosis, which causes thick and sticky mucus to build up inside the lungs, to other conditions like emphysema, a disease in which the alveoli in the lung become damaged. Some people also suffer from lung and high blood pressure, called pulmonary hypertension. Various diagnostic tests, such as CT/ultrasonography and pleural biopsy, help identify these illnesses and provide treatment.

They are dedicated to patient care, education, and research. The Division specializes in complex lung diseases and respiratory care. Patients in the department can seek care for various conditions, including asthma, COPD, interstitial lung diseases, pulmonary hypertension, and sleep apnoea.

Our Pulmonary Medicine services are board-certified physicians and Advanced Practitioners. They specialize in treating many pulmonary disorders, including inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis. In addition, they work closely with patients, their families, and other specialists.
