Pulmonology

What is Pulmonology?

Pulmonology is a specialised branch of internal medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of conditions affecting the lungs and respiratory tract. Pulmonologists, also known as lung specialists or respiratory physicians, are highly trained medical professionals who treat breathing-related disorders, offer comprehensive lung care, and assist patients in maintaining optimal respiratory health.

At Busamed, our pulmonologists use their extensive skill and advanced technologies to help patients achieve comfortable breathing, improved lung function, and enhanced quality of life. Our multidisciplinary approach means that highly specialised teams, including respiratory therapists, specialist physicians, radiologists, thoracic surgeons, and intensivists, collaborate to ensure integrated, effective, and patient-centred respiratory care.
