The Severe Asthma Clinic was founded by the Calcutta Medical Research Institute to offer top-notch asthma therapy that meets international standards. The clinic provides the best advice and treatment, in line with international standards, and uses the most recent technology available to detect lung diseases, severe asthma cases, and asthma in its early stages.

By the Global Initiative of Asthma (GINA) guidelines, the Severe Asthma Clinic provides step-by-step asthma management plans. These plans include individualized care plans that offer cutting-edge therapies like biologics with close respiratory nurse supervision during administration and ongoing support to help patients manage their asthma more effectively. At the clinic, patients will receive appropriate instruction on how to use inhalers, as well as identification of co-morbidities such as bronchiectasis and ABPA through serologic markers and HRCT scans, dietary advice, psychological counseling, and monitoring of therapy compliance at each visit. Additionally, a skin prick test will be used to determine the patient’s atopic status.

Breathing difficulties are a daily struggle for patients with severe asthma, which lowers quality of life and increases medical expenses. The creation of a severe asthma clinic will act as a focal point where these patients can have all-encompassing care from a group of committed medical specialists.

Following the launch, distinguished panelists discussed the impact of air pollution on the lungs and the mechanisms underlying the onset of asthma.

This is the first ever state-of-the-art Severe Asthma Clinic, located in a West Bengal hospital and outfitted with the newest technology for lung disease diagnosis and detection as well as asthma prevention.

A commendable initiative indeed.
