At Mediclinic Airport Road Hospital in Abu Dhabi, our Paediatric Pulmonology service provides expert care for children with a wide range of respiratory conditions. Our team of specialists is dedicated to diagnosing, managing, and supporting young patients with both common and complex pulmonary disorders, ensuring each child receives personalised and compassionate care.
Below is an overview of the key conditions we manage:
Asthma
Asthma is one of the most common chronic respiratory conditions in children, causing wheezing, coughing and shortness of breath. At Mediclinic Airport Road Hospital in Abu Dhabi, we offer comprehensive asthma management including diagnostic testing, inhaler training and long-term care plans tailored to each child’s needs, ensuring optimal control and a better quality of life.
Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that affects the lungs and digestive system, leading to thick mucus buildup that can cause severe respiratory and nutritional issues. Our multidisciplinary team provides advanced care to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD)
PCD is a rare genetic disorder that affects the movement of cilia in the respiratory tract, leading to recurrent lung infections and sinus issues. We offer specialised diagnostic tools such as nasal brushing and genetic testing, and work closely with families to implement effective treatment strategies including airway clearance techniques.
Wheezing Disorders
Wheezing in children can be caused by various conditions including viral infections or asthma. We provide detailed assessment to determine the underlying cause of recurrent wheezing and guide families through personalised treatment plans.
Chronic Cough
A cough lasting more than four weeks may be a sign of an underlying lung condition. We conduct thorough evaluations to identify the cause of chronic cough and provide evidence-based treatment to relieve symptoms and restore respiratory health.
Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition involving abnormal widening of the airways, leading to mucus buildup and frequent infections. Our approach includes airway clearance therapy, infection control and long-term monitoring to prevent disease progression and improve lung function.
Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD)
ILD in children encompasses a group of rare lung conditions that cause inflammation and scarring of lung tissue. Diagnosis and management require a highly specialised approach. At Mediclinic, we offer access to advanced imaging, lung function testing and expert care to manage symptoms and maintain lung health.
