We have world-class facilities for early detection, diagnosis, and management of various pulmonary diseases. Various diagnostic facilities are made available to the patients including lung (pulmonary) function test, allergy testing, DLCO & TLCO testing, video bronchoscopy, biopsy cytology, and CT guided biopsy. It is also equipped with world-class thoracic imaging technologies, such as, CT, MR, and Ultrasound scan and other medical equipment for lung ventilation, lung perfusion, and other medical and surgical procedures.

Our team is composed of eminent pulmonary physicians, physiologists, respiratory therapists, dieticians, thoracic surgeons, clinical nurses and technicians. The respiratory medicine facility works in tandem with cardiology, neuroscience, oncology, and other departments to ensure best possible care for in and-out patients. It is fully equipped to perform all surgical procedures related to lung, chest wall, and the oesophagus.
