Memorial Hospital, Sonipat offers chest and lung care led by Dr. KL Bansal (MBBS, MD, DTCD) - a qualified respiratory specialist on Delhi Road. Respiratory medicine (pulmonology) treats conditions of the lungs and airways: asthma, COPD, pneumonia and other chest infections, tuberculosis (TB), and persistent cough or breathlessness. Haryana’s dust, seasonal smog and winter air make these problems common, and they are very treatable with the right plan.
Care begins with a clear diagnosis - history, examination and tests such as a chest X-ray - followed by the right inhaler or medication and regular review. Tuberculosis is treated with a full, supervised course, which is essential for a cure and to prevent drug resistance. Seriously unwell patients are supported by Memorial Hospital’s 24×7 ICU and oxygen/ventilator facilities.
Dr. Bansal currently sees admitted (IPD) patients and consults by request. If you would like a chest consultation for a cough, asthma or breathlessness, please call the hospital to check current availability and our team will guide you.
