The programme is expected to benefit patients diagnosed with conditions such as interstitial lung disease (ILD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis among other lung diseases
BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital has launched its Comprehensive Lung Transplant Programme, expanding its advanced thoracic surgery and organ transplantation services for patients suffering from end-stage lung diseases.
The programme has been established to provide comprehensive evaluation, surgical treatment and long-term post-transplant care for patients with irreversible lung diseases where conventional medical treatment is no longer effective.
It is expected to benefit patients diagnosed with conditions such as interstitial lung disease (ILD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, bronchiectasis and other advanced respiratory disorders that significantly impair lung function and quality of life.
The programme is being led by Dr. Pramoj Jindal, Senior Director – Thoracic Surgery & Lung Transplantation, along with a multidisciplinary team comprising thoracic surgeons, pulmonologists, transplant physicians, intensivists, cardiac anaesthetists, rehabilitation specialists, physiotherapists, infectious disease experts, specialised nursing teams and transplant coordinators.
Speaking about the launch, Dr. Pramoj Jindal said, "In carefully selected patients, lung transplantation becomes the only definitive treatment capable of improving survival and restoring quality of life. The launch of our Comprehensive Lung Transplant Programme brings together specialised surgical expertise, advanced critical care infrastructure, ECMO support and a multidisciplinary team to deliver complete transplant care under one roof."
Dr. Suhas Parnami, Vice President – Hospital Operations & Unit Head, BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, said, "Lung transplantation requires not only clinical expertise but also robust infrastructure, multidisciplinary coordination, and well-established critical care systems. By bringing together experienced specialists, dedicated transplant facilities and advanced technologies such as ECMO under one roof, we aim to provide patients with comprehensive, world-class care closer to home.”
