Metropolitan Hospital operates a model, fully equipped and organized Pulmonary Clinic. With leading scientific and nursing staff and state-of-the-art equipment, the Pulmonary Clinic comprehensively treats every disorder or problem of the respiratory system and is available to patients 24/7.
Leading Scientific Staff
Our fully qualified pulmonologists and nursing staff, who have been trained abroad, offer all the diagnostic and therapeutic services, while ensuring ideal inpatient conditions and assistance to patients. We are able to treat all patients regardless of the pulmonary disease.
There are special asthma, sleep disorder, sarcoidosis and diffuse lung disease departments. We have placed great emphasis on Pulmonary Oncology and environmental pulmonary diseases. A Smoking Cessation Clinic also operates as part of the Pulmonary Clinic.
There is close collaboration with the Intensive Care Unit for the hospitalization of patients with severe respiratory problems and subsequent monitoring and hospitalization in a High Dependency Unit (HDU).
State-of-the-Art Technology
The Pulmonary Clinic labs are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and perform pulmonary function tests and sleep studies, while the fully-equipped Bronchial Lab offers all pulmonary techniques.
Model Labs
At the Pulmonary Endoscopy Lab, the equipment, methods and lab techniques provide doctors with a full understanding of the state of the lungs, and the ability to collect bronchoalveolar lavage and perform a transbronchial biopsy. They are also able to use endobronchial ultrasound for the examination of the mediastinum and the lymph nodes.
All tests that examine respiratory function are performed at the Pulmonary Function Lab. These tests include spirometry, which is recommended for individuals with chronic respiratory problems and smokers, and lung plethysmography, which is used for comprehensive understanding of a patient’s condition.
