Pulmonology

The Pulmonology department at Padmashree Hospital specializes in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of respiratory and pulmonary conditions. Our pulmonologist provides expert care for conditions ranging from common respiratory infections to complex chronic diseases like asthma, COPD, and tuberculosis. We offer comprehensive diagnostic services including Pulmonary Function Tests (PFT), chest imaging, sputum analysis, and allergy testing. Treatment approaches include medication management, nebulization therapy, oxygen therapy, and coordination with our ICU team for patients requiring critical respiratory support. Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant health concern in Nepal, and our department provides thorough screening, DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short-course) support, and follow-up care. We also manage allergic respiratory conditions, occupational lung diseases, and sleep-related breathing disorders. Our pulmonology services are particularly important for the Pokhara community and surrounding areas including Lekhnath, Hemja, and the broader Kaski district, where seasonal climate changes can trigger respiratory issues. We combine evidence-based medicine with patient education to help manage chronic conditions effectively.
