Respiratory Diseases
Respiratory diseases are those associated with the lungs, bronchi, and larynx, which sometimes cause patients to develop pneumonia or a pulmonary clot.
The Group provides the latest medical equipment and diagnostic services to diagnose and treat severe lung diseases, and it offers radiography, lung function, and allergy tests.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, As Salam International Hospital provided a specialized unit with a completely isolated pathway to ensure hospital operations functioned in a regular manner while supporting the COVID-19 program to run as per the national guidelines and with best outcomes across the country.
Lung cancer is the most lethal malignancy in men in Egypt and continues to show an increasing trend in both genders. In addition to lung cancer, responses to other chronic respiratory diseases related to various environmental factors, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma, have been gaining importance, which led to the establishment of As-Salam International Pulmonary Disease Center, with Prof. Hossam Hosny as Pulmonary Center Head.
For respiratory diseases, we practice team medical care with the internal medicine and surgery departments, such as thoracic surgeons and the respiratory rehabilitation teams that join forces to bolster our responses to bronchial asthma, pneumonia, COPD, interstitial pneumonia, interstitial lung disease, and others.
In 2019, As Salam International Hospital was granted clinical care certification by the Joint Commission International (JCI) for the COPD program, becoming the third hospital worldwide and third in the Middle East to be granted that certificate.
