CONDITIONS & PROCEDURES

ASTHMA

Asthma is a widespread respiratory condition that presents with breathing difficulties and wheezing.

INTERSTITIAL LUNG DISEASE

Interstitial lung disease refers to a collection of chronic respiratory conditions characterised by scarring and inflammation that prevents sufficient oxygen intake.

TUBERCULOSIS

Tuberculosis occurs as a result of exposure to Mycobacterium Tuberculosis, a type of bacterium that leads to chest pain, coughing with traces of blood, lethargy, weight loss, and fever.

PULMONARY HYPERTENSION

Pulmonary hypertension is a form of elevated blood pressure that targets the arteries within the lungs and the right segment of the heart.

POST-TUBERCULOSIS LUNG DISEASE (PTLD)

Post-tuberculosis lung disease (PTLD) is a long-term respiratory ailment that affects the airways, pulmonary vasculature, and pleura.

PULMONARY EMBOLISM

Pulmonary embolism arises from an obstruction in the pulmonary arteries, the blood vessels that transfer blood to the lungs.

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a medical respiratory condition that restricts airflow and has many causes, smoking being the most common.

PLEURAL DISEASE

Pleural disease is a disorder of the membrane that extends to the exterior of the lungs and coats the inside of the chest cavity.

BRONCHIECTASIS

Bronchiectasis develops when the airways begin to dilate, leading to the build-up of extra mucous that increases the risk of infection.

LUNG MALIGNANCIES

Lung malignancies refer to lung cancer, including non-small cell lung cancer, lung nodules and small cell lung cancer.

OCCUPATIONAL LUNG DISEASE

Occupational lung disease develops from continuous, long-term exposure to a harmful agent that could potentially damage the lungs.

LUNG FUNCTION TESTING

Lung Function Testing is a non-invasive diagnostic assessment that evaluates the functional capacity of the lungs.

BRONCHOSCOPY

Bronchoscopy is an examination that enables doctors to examine and assess the inside of the lungs. A bronchoscopy entails the insertion of a lighted scope (bronchoscope) through the nose or orally, which Dr Hoosen guides down the throat into the lungs.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.
