Paediatric Pulmonology
Pediatric pulmonologists specialize in treating children with breathing problems. Common conditions we treat include:

Children come to a pediatric pulmonologist due to breathing problems at or soon after birth, or may be referred to us for diagnosis of breathing problems that develop later in childhood. We offer the most advanced and comprehensive testing procedures available in the region, and specialize in pediatric pulmonary function testing – one of only a few centers in the nation to do so. children below 5 years of age who are not able to do spirometry(pft) do fot (impulse oscillometry) which is easy to perform, needs normal breathing and can be done by anyone.
