Despite this progress, cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke remain the leading causes of natural death worldwide, followed by cancer and chronic respiratory diseases. A report from the World Health Organization (WHO) highlights that death due to lung diseases in India have notably increased, accounting for a significant percentage of total deaths. Respiratory diseases affecting lung health include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), interstitial lung disease (ILD), pneumonia, and tuberculosis (TB). While the risk factors for chronic respiratory diseases include tobacco smoking (including second-hand smoke), air pollution, allergens and occupational risks, specialists in lung health, particularly pulmonologists, play a crucial role in helping patients combat and manage the challenges posed by these lung diseases.
