Pulmonology

The pulmonology clinic of Centro Medico Santagostino is focused on the diagnosis and treatment of all respiratory diseases involving the lungs, in particular asthma, cough, acute and chronic bronchitis, pulmonary consolidations, and pleurisy. 

The pulmonologist also proposes therapeutic programs to those who would like to stop smoking, with a particular focus on those with chronic diseases caused by smoking. They support patients from the medical point of view and also helps them with the psychological and behavioral difficulties linked to quitting which, very often, undermine this difficult decision and cause patients to fall back into their old smoking habits. For more information see the smoking cessation clinic.
