Pulmonology

At KMCH, our Pulmonary Function Laboratory helps patients understand and monitor their lung health in a simple and effective way. We check how well your lungs are working and how they respond during activity with multiple tests. These guide our doctors in diagnosing breathing problems early and planning the right treatment, so patients can breathe easier and live healthier.
