Pulmonary rehabilitation is a structured programme that combines supervised exercise, breathing techniques, and education to help people with chronic or acute lung conditions improve their lung function and overall quality of life. It is guided by pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and rehabilitation specialists working together as a team.

Gradual, monitored exercise builds endurance and strengthens the muscles used for breathing, helping patients regain the stamina needed for daily activities.

Patients learn how to recognise early warning signs, use inhalers and devices correctly, and manage their condition confidently at home.
