Medicine, Respiratory & Pulmonary care is a vital specialty dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the lungs and respiratory system. Since breathing is fundamental to life, disorders of the lungs and airways can significantly impact overall health, energy levels, and quality of life.
Respiratory and pulmonary medicine covers a wide range of conditions, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis, interstitial lung disease, and pulmonary hypertension. Specialists in this field also diagnose and manage sleep-related breathing disorders, such as sleep apnea, as well as allergic respiratory conditions.
