Obstructive Airway Disease Programme

Overview

Obstructive airway diseases are a group of lung conditions that make it difficult to breathe, especially when trying to exhale. These conditions can significantly impact the​ quality of life, leading to breathlessness, fatigue, and increased risk of complications. At AKUH, we offer a comprehensive Obstructive Airway Disease Programme designed to provide expert care, diagnosis, and management for patients suffering from these conditions.

Conditions We Treat

We specialise in diagnosing and treating a wide range of obstructive airway diseases, including: ​

  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD): A progressive lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe.

  • Asthma: A chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that can cause wheezing, coughing, and shortness of breath.

  • Bronchiectasis: A condition where the airways become widened and damaged, leading to frequent infections and mucus buildup.

  • Cystic fibrosis: A genetic disorder that affects the lungs and other organs.
