In a major leap forward for pulmonary care, Sir H N Reliance Foundation Hospital has launched its Advanced Lung Disease Clinic, a specialized centre dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of complex and rare lung conditions. This state-of-the-art facility combines advanced diagnostics, interventional pulmonology, and lung transplant services to deliver holistic and personalized care under one roof.
Addressing India’s Growing Respiratory Disease Burden
India faces a staggering respiratory disease load, with 33 million asthma patients and 55 million people living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), according to The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. These numbers account for more than 10% of the global burden. Recognizing the urgent need for focused care, the new clinic aims to fill critical gaps in pulmonary healthcare by offering advanced diagnostics and life-saving treatments, including lung transplantation.
Comprehensive Care for Advanced Lung Conditions
The clinic specializes in managing a broad spectrum of advanced pulmonary diseases, including:
- Severe Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
- End-stage COPD and emphysema
- Treatment-resistant asthma
- Occupational and environmental lung disorders
- Progressive lung failure requiring ventilatory or ECMO support
Cutting-Edge Technologies and Personalized Therapies
Equipped with high-precision interventional pulmonology tools, the clinic provides:
- Bronchoscopy, cryotherapy, and airway stenting
- Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)-guided biopsies
- Pulmonary rehabilitation and oxygen therapy
- Tailored lifestyle support programs
These technologies enable minimally invasive procedures and highly personalized treatment pathways, significantly improving patient outcomes.
Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Approach
A standout feature of the clinic is its close collaboration with other specialties, including cardiology, rheumatology, infectious diseases, and critical care. This integrated care model ensures comprehensive treatment for patients with multi-system involvement.
Its lung transplant program includes full-spectrum care—from pre-transplant evaluation and surgical expertise to immunosuppressive therapy and long-term follow-up.
