The Respiratory System: The respiratory system is the network of organs and tissues that help you breathe. This system helps your body absorb oxygen from the air so your organs can work. It also cleans waste gases, such as carbon dioxide, from your blood.

​

The Pulmonologist: A pulmonologist is a doctor who diagnoses and treats diseases of the respiratory system - the lungs and other organs that help you breathe. They occasionally use a bronchoscope to visualize deep inside the lung, which helps in diagnosing a problem accurately.

​

• Asthma

• Smoking related diseases (COPD)

• Flu or pneumonia

• Covid-19

• Sleep apnoea

• Lung Tuberculosis

• Bronchitis
