Advanced diagnostic bronchoscopies are cutting-edge procedures that enable the diagnosis and staging of lung diseases. The services include Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS), Virtual Bronchoscopy Navigation (VBN), Electromagnetic Navigation Bronchoscopy (ENB), and Dynamic Scan Guided Bronchoscopy Examination, among others.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory illness, which needs long term treatment. Common symptoms include wheezing, shortness of breath and chest pain, etc.

Interstitial lung disease leads to inflammation and scarring, making it difficult for the lungs to receive oxygen.

Lung cancer is a type of malignant tumor which is commonly caused by factors such as long-term smoking and air pollution, and requires early detection and treatment.
