and a procedure room, which caters patients from Emergency department, wards and
sometimes from other hospitals as well. There are 8 Medical Officers and 16 staff nurses
working in the Department. The well-trained team of Pulmonology and Critical care

patients having breathing issues and other respiratory pathologies requiring ventilator
support.
