On world COPD Day, Paras Health Panchkula has launched two dedicated facilities, the Asthma Precision Clinic and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (PR) services, to provide focused care for respiratory diseases such as severe asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). These new initiatives aim to address the rising burden of respiratory conditions in the region by offering innovative diagnostics, personalized treatments, and comprehensive support.
The Asthma Precision Clinic is designed to deliver individualized care to patients with severe asthma. By integrating biological therapies, FeNO (Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide) testing, and skin prick testing, the clinic ensures precise diagnosis and tailored treatment plans. Biological therapies specifically target inflammatory pathways to manage severe asthma symptoms, while FeNO testing provides real-time insights into airway inflammation for more accurate treatment adjustments.
Skin prick testing helps identify allergen triggers, allowing patients to adopt customized allergen management strategies. Speaking about the launch, Dr. Robin Gupta, Pulmonologist at Paras Health Panchkula**, said, “The introduction of the Asthma Precision Clinic is a crucial step toward improving asthma care in our region. By focusing on individualized treatment and addressing specific triggers, we aim to help patients achieve better asthma control and lead healthier lives.”
The Pulmonary Rehabilitation program, another key addition, provides comprehensive support to patients suffering from COPD. This multidisciplinary approach focuses on improving lung function, reducing symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue, and enhancing overall quality of life. The program incorporates exercise training, disease management education, behavioral counseling, nutrition advice, and psychosocial support to ensure a holistic treatment experience.
Dr. S.K Gupta, Pulmonologist at Paras Health Panchkula, highlighted the importance of this service, saying, “Pulmonary rehabilitation is vital for managing COPD effectively. It not only reduces hospitalizations but also helps patients regain independence and improves their mental well-being through targeted interventions.”
The two facilities are expected to benefit thousands of patients annually, with the Asthma Precision Clinic alone projected to screen and treat over 7,500 individuals in its first year. By focusing on accurate diagnosis, optimizing treatments, and supporting patients in adhering to their care plans, these initiatives are set to redefine respiratory care in the region.
Dr. Kritarth,Pulmonology at Paras Health Panchkula, remarked, “We are addressing a growing health need by offering these specialized services. We aim to provide patients with access to the best possible care and equip them with the tools and knowledge to manage their conditions effectively.”
The launch of these facilities is part of Paras Health Panchkula’s commitment to enhancing healthcare delivery and addressing the specific challenges faced by the local community. Dr, Pankaj Mittal, Facility Director, Paras Health Panchkula, added, “These initiatives underline our dedication to providing patient-centric care. We are confident that the Asthma Precision Clinic and Pulmonary Rehabilitation program will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our patients.”
Paras Health Panchkula’s focus on respiratory health aligns with its mission to tackle pressing healthcare challenges through innovative solutions and collaboration. With the launch of these services, the hospital is setting a new benchmark in managing asthma and COPD, ensuring improved outcomes for patients across the region.
