Pulmonology

Your Lungs. Our Priority.

Sharjah’s Trusted Respiratory Care Center

What Is Pulmonology?

Pulmonology is the branch of medicine focused on the lungs and respiratory system. It includes the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect breathing, such as asthma, chronic cough, lung infections, and sleep-related breathing disorders.

Pulmonologists are specialists trained to evaluate and manage everything from common issues like bronchitis to complex conditions such as lung cancer or pulmonary fibrosis.

When Should You See a Pulmonologist?

If you're struggling to catch your breath, dealing with a lingering cough, or facing frequent chest infections, it may be time to consult a pulmonologist. Specialists in lung health, pulmonologists can help uncover the root cause of your symptoms, manage existing conditions like asthma or COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease – a group of lung conditions that make it hard to breathe, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema), and prevent more serious complications—especially if you have a history of smoking or chronic respiratory issues.

Respiratory Services We Offer

At Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Hospital, our Pulmonology team delivers comprehensive, evidence-based care for your lungs and respiratory system. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or seeking answers to new symptoms, our services are designed to detect issues early, provide relief, and support long-term lung health through advanced testing and tailored treatment.

  • Bronchoscopy
    A procedure using a thin camera to examine the airways and lungs, often used to diagnose infections or tumors.
  • Chest X-ray
    A quick, painless imaging test to detect lung abnormalities such as infection, fluid, or masses.
  • CT Scan
    Detailed cross-sectional imaging to evaluate lung diseases, tumors, and complex respiratory conditions.
  • Echocardiogram
    An ultrasound of the heart that helps assess whether heart issues are contributing to breathing difficulties.
  • Pulmonary Rehabilitation
    A supervised program that combines exercise, education, and support to improve lung function and stamina in people with chronic lung disease.
  • Preoperative Respiratory Assessment
    Evaluation of lung function before surgery to reduce risk and plan safe anesthesia care.
  • Smoking Cessation Support
    Tailored programs, counseling, and medications to help patients quit smoking for good.
  • Spirometry
    A simple breathing test that measures lung capacity and airflow to diagnose conditions like asthma or COPD.
  • Spirometry with Reversibility Testing
    Compares breathing before and after medication to assess response in conditions like asthma.

Conditions We Diagnose and Treat

Breathing problems can range from mild and occasional to chronic and life-altering — and getting the right diagnosis makes all the difference. At Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Hospital, we care for a wide spectrum of respiratory conditions, offering expert treatment for everything from everyday infections to complex lung diseases that require long-term management.

  • Asthma (chronic airway inflammation that causes wheezing and breathlessness)
  • Chronic Bronchitis (long-term cough with mucus caused by airway irritation)
  • Acute and Chronic Cough (persistent cough often linked to infection, asthma, or reflux)
  • Allergies and Rhinitis (inflammatory responses affecting nasal passages and airways)
  • Bronchiectasis (damage and widening of the airways causing mucus buildup and infection)
  • Chronic Respiratory Failure (when the lungs can’t provide enough oxygen or remove enough carbon dioxide)
  • Emphysema (a form of COPD where air sacs in the lungs are damaged, making breathing difficult)
  • Pulmonary Fibrosis (scarring in the lungs that makes it harder to breathe)
  • Interstitial Lung Disease (a group of disorders causing lung stiffness and reduced oxygen flow)
  • Lung Infections (bacterial pneumonia, lower and upper respiratory infections)
  • Lung Cancer – Primary & Secondary (tumors originating in or spreading to the lungs)
  • Bronchogenic Carcinoma (a common type of lung cancer beginning in the airways)
  • Tuberculosis (TB) (a contagious bacterial infection affecting the lungs)
  • Pleural Infections (infections in the lining around the lungs)
  • Cystic Fibrosis (a genetic disorder causing thick mucus buildup in the lungs and digestive tract)
  • Sarcoidosis (an inflammatory disease that can affect the lungs and other organs)
  • Hemoptysis (coughing up blood, which may signal a serious condition)
  • Sleep Apnea (a disorder where breathing repeatedly stops and starts during sleep)
  • Stroke-related Breathing Complications (breathing issues due to weakened muscles after a stroke)
  • Smoking-related Lung Diseases (damage caused by long-term tobacco use)
  • Wheezing and Breathlessness (commonly linked to asthma, COPD, or infection)
