Sleep is not just rest - it’s active lung care.
Poor sleep can increase airway inflammation, weaken immunity, and worsen control of chronic lung conditions like COPD, ILD, and asthma. Night-time is when lung repair and recovery happen.

Sleep is lung maintenance. Don’t ignore it.

Your 40s are a milestone - not just for your career or family, but for your respiratory health.

Many lung conditions like COPD or early-stage asthma don’t scream; they whisper. A slight shortness of breath or a lingering cough is often dismissed as "just getting older," but it could be your lungs asking for help.

Know why consider a lung check-up in your 40s.

When lungs start failing, symptoms are only part of the picture.
Tests show how well your lungs are working - and how much support they need.

These results help doctors decide the right time for advanced care, including transplant evaluation. Know what are the lung tests that help decide if transplant is needed.

Breathlessness that slowly limits your daily routine isn’t something to “adjust” to. It’s something to understand.

If climbing stairs feels harder than it used to, pause for a moment. Is it age - or is it your lungs asking for attention?

Getting checked early makes a difference.

Some people count down the years, but for those with advanced lung disease, life is measured in breaths.

As 2025 comes to a close, we reflect on the incredible journeys of our lung transplant recipients. It is more than just a surgery; it is the transition from a "battle for breath" to the joy of "restored living."

None of this would be possible without the profound courage of donor families who chose hope in their hardest moments. We are honored to be part of every second chance.

Here’s to every deep breath in the New Year.

Lung transplant awareness is rising - not because lung disease is rare, but because people are getting diagnosed earlier than ever.
And with early diagnosis comes clarity, options and hope.

But many still carry outdated beliefs:
❌ “Transplants are the last resort.”
❌ “Outcomes are unpredictable.”
❌ “Very few people qualify.”

The truth?
Lung transplants today are safer, more successful and far more accessible than they were a decade ago.
Early evaluation = better outcomes.

Not every lung condition can be diagnosed with X-rays or routine tests. Sometimes, your doctor suggests advanced procedures like Bronchoscopy, Cryobiopsy or EBUS to clearly identify what’s happening inside your lungs.
These tests help detect infections, fibrosis, cancer, and even decide who might need a lung transplant in the future.
