Pulmonology

Specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of complex respiratory conditions and disorders, the Pulmonology Practice provides 24/7 service in the inpatient, outpatient and emergency care settings. We work closely with services like the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, but almost 90% of our patients are treated on an outpatient basis. The team participates in clinical research involving conditions like Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and asthma. We are a multidisciplinary (National Medical Centre) recognized Cystic Fibrosis Center.
