Overview & Details

India and the United Arab Emirates provide advanced pulmonology care, offering state-of-the-art diagnostics and treatments such as bronchoscopy, management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), severe asthma care, and interstitial lung disease therapies. International patients primarily arrive from Africa, Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East to seek treatment in India, attracted by world-class clinical outcomes and exceptional affordability, with advanced pulmonary evaluations and treatments ranging from $1,000 to $3,500. Meanwhile, the UAE serves as a premier regional hub, drawing individuals from the GCC and Eastern Europe who prioritize elite luxury infrastructure, short wait times, and cutting-edge respiratory care centers, where specialized management and procedures typically range between $4,000 and $9,000. Across both destinations, patients experience streamlined medical travel coordination and comprehensive respiratory rehabilitation support.

Popular Procedures

Common medical and surgical procedures available under Pulmonology

Bronchoscopy

Bronchoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure where a thin, illuminated tube with a camera is passed through your nose or mouth into your airways. This allows doctors to directly inspect your lungs, diagnose respiratory conditions, collect tissue samples, or remove foreign objects.

EBUS

Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive procedure combining bronchoscopy and ultrasound. It allows doctors to view your airway walls and sample nearby lymph nodes or lung tissue using a fine needle, helping diagnose lung infections, cancer, or inflammatory conditions safely and accurately.

Thoracoscopy

Thoracoscopy is a minimally invasive procedure where a small camera is inserted through tiny chest wall incisions. It allows doctors to clearly view, diagnose, and treat conditions affecting the lungs, pleura, or chest cavity while ensuring faster recovery and less post-operative discomfort than traditional open surgery.

Lung Biopsy

Lung biopsies involve extracting a small sample of lung tissue for laboratory examination. This essential diagnostic procedure helps doctors accurately identify conditions such as infections, lung cancer, or interstitial lung disease, guiding targeted and effective treatment plans.

Pleural Biopsy

Pleural biopsy involves removing a tiny tissue sample from the lining around your lungs. This minimally invasive procedure helps doctors accurately diagnose conditions like unexplained fluid buildup, inflammation, infections, or lung diseases by examining the tissue under a microscope.

Pleural Effusion Drainage

Pleural effusion drainage is a procedure to remove excess fluid that has built up between your lungs and chest wall. Doctors use a thin needle or small tube to drain the fluid, which immediately relieves pressure, eases breathing discomfort, and helps identify the underlying medical cause.

VATS Lobectomy

VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) Lobectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove a diseased lung lobe. Surgeons use small keyhole incisions and a specialized camera to operate with precision, leading to less post-operative pain, fewer complications, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open chest surgery.

Pneumonectomy

A pneumonectomy is a major surgical procedure to completely remove an entire lung, typically performed to treat advanced lung cancer or severe, localized infections. This intervention allows surgeons to eliminate diseased tissue when less extensive resections are not sufficient.

Tracheal Stenting

Tracheal stenting places a small, hollow tube into a narrowed or weakened windpipe. This keeps the airway open, immediately relieving severe breathing difficulties caused by tumors, scar tissue, or collapsed airways while allowing for safer airflow.

Sleep Study

A sleep study (polysomnography) is a non-invasive, overnight test that monitors your brain waves, heart rate, breathing, and body movements. It helps doctors diagnose sleep disorders like sleep apnea, restless legs syndrome, and insomnia to improve your overall health.

COPD Intervention

COPD interventions include bronchodilators, pulmonary rehabilitation, and oxygen therapy to ease breathing, improve lung function, and enhance daily physical endurance for patients managing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Asthma Biologic Therapy

Asthma biologic therapy uses targeted, injectable monoclonal antibodies to block specific immune system molecules causing severe airway inflammation. It significantly reduces dangerous asthma attacks and dependence on oral steroids, providing relief for patients with severe, treatment-resistant forms of the condition.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a personalized medical program combining exercise training, breathing techniques, education, and psychological support. It helps patients with chronic lung conditions improve their physical endurance, reduce shortness of breath, and achieve a significantly higher quality of life.

Thoracic Tumor Surgery

Thoracic tumor surgery involves removing cancerous or benign growths in the chest, including the lungs, esophagus, and chest wall. Surgeons often use minimally invasive techniques like video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) or robotic-assisted methods to reduce pain, minimize recovery times, and preserve healthy lung function.

Lung Transplant

A lung transplant replaces diseased or failing lungs with healthy donor organs. It offers a life-saving option for patients with severe respiratory conditions like COPD or pulmonary fibrosis, significantly improving daily breathing capacity, physical endurance, and overall life expectancy when other treatments fail.
