Treatments and procedures

01

Asthma Diagnosis & Management

Comprehensive assessment and long-term management of asthma, helping patients control symptoms effectively and reduce the frequency of flare-ups through personalised treatment plans.

02

COPD Management

Medical management and pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, focused on slowing disease progression and helping patients breathe more easily and stay active for longer.

03

Pulmonary Function Testing (PFT)

Lung capacity and airflow measurement used for accurate diagnosis of respiratory conditions, providing clear data that helps guide the most appropriate treatment plan for each patient.

04

Bronchoscopy

Camera-guided examination of the airways for diagnosis and treatment, allowing direct visualisation of the lungs to investigate persistent symptoms or take tissue samples when needed.

05

Sleep Study & Sleep Apnoea Management

Overnight sleep testing and management of sleep-disordered breathing, identifying the severity of sleep apnoea and guiding effective treatment for safer, more restful, uninterrupted sleep.

06

Pleural Effusion Management

Drainage and management of fluid buildup around the lungs, relieving breathlessness and discomfort while identifying the underlying cause to prevent the fluid from returning.

07

Tuberculosis (TB) Diagnosis & Management

Comprehensive TB testing, treatment, and monitoring, ensuring an accurate diagnosis and a complete course of therapy to fully clear the infection and prevent its spread to others.

08

Interstitial Lung Disease Management

Specialist diagnosis and treatment of complex inflammatory lung conditions, focused on slowing disease progression and helping patients manage breathlessness and maintain daily activity.

09

Respiratory Allergy Management

Treatment of allergic respiratory conditions including rhinitis and allergic asthma, identifying triggers accurately and providing long-term relief through a combination of medication and lifestyle guidance.

10

Medical Thoracoscopy

A minimally invasive procedure used for the diagnosis and management of pleural conditions, allowing direct examination and treatment of the space around the lungs with minimal discomfort.

Persistent cough lasting more than 3 weeks, shortness of breath, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing up blood, or unexplained fatigue are all reasons to see a pulmonologist.

COPD is not fully reversible, but its progression can be significantly slowed with the right treatment, lifestyle changes — particularly stopping smoking — and pulmonary rehabilitation. Early diagnosis makes a meaningful difference.

It is a simple, non-invasive breathing test that measures how well your lungs work — including how much air you can breathe in and out and how fast. It helps diagnose and monitor conditions like asthma and COPD.

Sleep apnoea is diagnosed through an overnight sleep study that monitors your breathing, oxygen levels, and sleep patterns. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, CPAP therapy, or in some cases, surgical intervention.
