Pulmonology

Banjara Hills | Financial District

STAR Hospital has some of the best Pulmonologists in Hyderabad. Our team comprises a highly experienced critical care intensivist and senior pulmonologist, who worked hand in hand saving hundreds of lives during the COVID-19 Pandemic, along with expert interventional pulmonologists. Supported by both clinical and technological advances, we are able to care for common or chronic conditions affecting the lungs.

Breath Better

It is quite common in households to have children or family members suffering from Asthma, persistent Cough, Allergies, or other airway diseases like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases), Bronchiolitis and Bronchiectasis, caused due to smoking, pollution or exposure to biomass fuel. We take into account your unique medical history and lifestyle in prescribing the treatment for a speedy and sustained recovery. For children suffering from pulmonary conditions we recommend care in line with their family’s decision.

We also offer Pulmonary rehabilitation, which is a supervised medical program that helps people who have lung diseases live and breathe better.

Adult Vaccinations

While we are all very diligent with child vaccinations, we fail to prioritise adult vaccination. It is very important to get regular annual Flu Vaccine in the months of June and Oct.

Pneumonia vaccination

Zoster vaccine, which protects against the virus that causes chicken pox, must be taken…. When contracted by an adult, it leads to shingles, which provokes a painful rash with blisters, and can be followed by chronic pain, as well as other complications.

DTP vaccine
