Gurdaspur, July 2025:
Abrol Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals), which has been providing successful healthcare services in Gurdaspur for years, has launched a special awareness campaign focused on respiratory and lung diseases. The initiative is spearheaded by renowned pulmonologist Dr. Ajaypal Singh, under whose guidance the hospital is offering advanced and effective treatment for tuberculosis (TB), asthma, bronchitis, allergies, pneumonia, and post-COVID complications.
According to Dr. Singh, Tuberculosis is a serious yet completely curable disease — provided it is diagnosed early and treated regularly and completely. Common symptoms of TB include:
- Cough lasting more than two weeks
- Blood in sputum
- Night sweats
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
He emphasizes that recognizing these symptoms early and consulting a doctor promptly can prevent the disease from spreading and lead to a full recovery.
Similarly, diseases like asthma, chronic bronchitis, allergic respiratory disorders, and viral or bacterial lung infections are increasingly common. Identifying these illnesses and understanding triggers like dust, smoke, pollen, and smoking is just as crucial as treatment. Symptoms such as persistent coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing, or fatigue should never be ignored.
Advanced Facilities at Abrol Hospital Include:
✅ Chest X-Ray and CT Scan
✅ Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs)
✅ Microbiological Testing of Sputum
✅ Oxygen Therapy
✅ Inhaler Training
✅ Pulmonary Rehabilitation
✅ Free TB testing and medication under Government Health Schemes
Dr. Singh also stresses that their department focuses not just on medical treatment but also on mental, social, and nutritional support for patients. A disciplined lifestyle, balanced diet, and strict adherence to medication are essential parts of managing lung conditions.
Dr. Ajaypal Singh Appeals to the Public:
“If you or someone you know is suffering from persistent coughing, difficulty in breathing, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, or chest pain — don’t ignore it. Get tested immediately. These diseases are treatable, but only if addressed in time. Our team is fully dedicated to your care.”
Abrol Hospital (A Unit of EMC Hospitals) continues to provide exceptional healthcare services to Gurdaspur and surrounding regions. With this new awareness initiative, the hospital reinforces its commitment to the community with a clear message:
“Awareness comes before treatment.”
